I took some pics of Mike Cordoba's place which is hidden in town less than a mile from the plaza, and maybe 100yds from a 5-star bed and breakfast, and a few other primo places.
Three weeks ago <span style="font-style: italic">my</span> my car was moved from the mudpit outside, into the shop. Originally we were going to have the car finished by now, which in Taos time, I've learned, means maybe by October?

inside the shop:



just to the right, my car is behind the wood crate that the engine is currently sitting in









A few other projects:





The &quot;roticerrie&quot; that the ford will be put on next week, for sandblasting. A Mustang is on there now.

...things are even &quot;cooler&quot; outside the shop. Shop around for a project you might like! Here's a few.













the original &quot;Thunder Road&quot; car!

Re: tAos nM cUsTom caR sHop

is the Fairlane for stock racing, tdude?

can't tell if that's a Nash below the old Ford... once had a Nash convertible, little thing... felt like you could almost pick it up and carry under your arm. we eventually sold it.

the scenery looks so much like one of my husband's properties which we fondly refer to as &quot;the hole&quot;...

Re: tAos nM cUsTom caR sHop

it's a Nash!
bout the fairlane...it's going to be set up for road racing on a track, rallies, and some specialty events... I think few peeps are wierd enuf to attempt to set up a Fairlane to do this stuff...We're working toward performance that at least replicates the old TransAm race cars of the late 60's.

it will be more radical than these (like, one thing, the radiator is being mounted on the back firewall in front of the trunk)...google &quot;Chevelle from Hell/Hotrods to Hell&quot; ...I'm driving to Cali next week to pick up parts from Steve, the guy who built <span style="font-style: italic">that</span> thing.
