Got some great news today from Mr. 2002GW... We have a green light for paint!!

I am beyond ecstatic!

The body shop master will be prepping this week doing the sealing and chip guarding! He says that Tesoro is a "perfect canvas for paint!"

Just FYI, the body shop technician's eyes and hands have been the only one working on Tesoro. There are no other bodies or eyes working on different sections of Tesoro and therefore there's no room for overlooking anything. Its the exclusivity and intimate workmanship that is truly impressive and I can't wait to go down to LA after Legends to check out my Tesoro!

PS: notice the pic under the trunk hood, the smoothness of lines and perfect cut outs... Its these little details that brings forth an artistic value to a restoration.

The day has finally come! I long for that green light. Still blocking and sanding here. A few months to go yet... It's all about the journey. Congratulations!

OK, it's OCTOBER!!!! Where's the paint?!?!?!

Hi Captain Manly! 

Paint is very close now... there were some more sanding and priming and prepping that needed to be done prior to paint. I only have one shot at this and it has to be PERFECT. But we are very close! And you're right.. its the anniversary of Tesoro being gone at body restoration for a year... and they have been doing nothing but getting this right for me. Black is such an unforgiving color too! If I went with a Chamonix... We'd already have painted by now! ;-) Darn Schwarz! 

 

But its still coming along... paint materials are bought and we are just waiting on the painter's schedule! Be in touch VERY SHORTLY! Pics coming soon! Believe me... I'm more anxious than you are! ;-)
