Custom Deluxe Redux

Hector Sanchez painted the Custom Deluxe on Friday and did what looks like an awfully good job, according to David Sudderth and Rocky Rojo, our men on the ground in Marfa.  David took these photos, and I spot his 1976 Scottsdale parked across the street. Ricky is doing a transmission overhaul and is babysitting the truck, which we plan to use it next winter as our West Texas transportation.
             I love recycling old trucks--this is a 1986---which is extremely possible in W Texas, where old originals are dusty, but rarely rusty. Thanks to Hector for an excellent job.

            During the period the truck was in HS's shop, wildfires were raging all across far-West Texas, and HS was doing duty as a volunteer fireman. The Rockhouse fire just missed Marfa and provided a few very tense days. Other parts of Presidio County burned and many people lost homes in Fort Davis in the largest wildfire in Texas history.
