John,
Not sure if that's him or not. I found my old receipt from 1994. It was
called MD Auto Painting and he was on Bodega Highway outside
Sebastopol. Is that the same guy? If so, the quality of the work was
great, and he was a pleasant guy on top of it.
The body man is name Kres, and he's on Calistoga Road. He is a great guy,
does great work, and as far as I know is still doing work. There was a
photo of the GT and he welded in a lower fender panel. The quality of the
work was fantastic. Amazing, this is a California car but rust never sleeps.
