Hector Sanchez and the Work-in-Progress



Hector Sanchez is a very talented guy who owns a small bodyshop and garage in Marfa, Texas. (I don't think there's a sign, but the shop's located just behind Mando's). Right now Hector is repainting our 1986 Custom Deluxe. When we bought the truck last winter, it wore an aged coat of primer. Underneath that it was schoolbus yellow: the truck had belonged to the local gas company fleet for most of its life. Hector is sanding everything down, and the truck will be repainted. White. Ricky Rojo will be overhauling the transmission, and we're looking forward to using the Custom Deluxe next winter in West Texas. No more rental cars!
