You mean Conga line, no I mean conda line......
It's been a week worth of work just to get all these lines even, but I'll tell why, some time ago, the owner of TRE Motorsports got this 1970 S, the car was in pieces, as if someone has started too work on it. When were commissioned to restore it. I suggested that the car has to be put back together before we start the body work.
I always wonder why nobody listens to me, it's not that I like doing this, rather this is what I do for a living........
Long story short, being that this is a special car, now we have to redo the whole enchilada, this time, my way; We assembled all the parts, make sure that all the gaps and lines are even, the it will be taken apart to repaint.
Bits of rust were dealt with as well as the lead in the joining areas of the body. soon enough the body will be prep to take a bath in single stage paint of the original Conda green.
Apparently this has to be magazine worthy........we shall see.

Between the lines
On this episode of the "Challenge"......
We got ourselves a 1970 S that belongs to the owner of TRE Motorsports. It started a long time ago, but being busy with so many other projects, we (TRE & Axiom) decided to put it on pause for a little while.
The other day we got an E-Mail from TRE: "We need to finish my Conda Green, and it has to be perfect"
I guess I could use a little more pressure in my life........
I may be crucified for saying so, but these cars were never perfect, that's the reason it has shims on the doors and adjustments on all others parts.
But because this is car for show, we will call it an "Axiom/TRE gold standard build"
As we speak, all the gaps are being adjusted, each one has to be exactly like the other one, to do this, we have to put the car back together, and then take it apart for body work.
Every detail has to be as if today was 1970 at a Porsche dealership.
As we peel everything out of the shell, we will document everything, who knows, we get some cool pictures.
Stay tune...........
