Hey Owen You have received plenty of great advice on this issue. I just wanted to add a couple things: ~~Imho....not cut the hood. I have never seen a Pantera that WOULD cool itself with the hood open but NOT with the hood closed. ~~Also, an upgrade to modern day fans is a must. That technology just wasn't available in the early seventies. ~~Which ever fans you use, have a dedicated power source for those fans with healthy size wiring. Compare your fan power as wired now with the same fans but with a large wire directly from the battery. You might notice a sizable increase in blade speed ~~And lastly, NEVER use the auxiliary fan switch on the console. Wire both fans to operate with temperature switches. A manual switch for your radiator fan is as silly as using a manual switch for your oil pump.

Yes you do, Chris . . . Well, in one sense at least. Some have said that when you and Pandora came together, that you "really bought the farm this time . . .". So, by that reasoning, selling the farm and selling Pandora could mean one ant the same. I know that is not in your plans . . .

Congrats! I hope I have as much patience to wait for my farm to sell so I can finish my car. Oh, wait; I don't have a farm... Sincerely, Chris

So I finally got the organic certification for the farm, it has been 2 years. In the next few weeks I'll be picking & selling a few acres worth of avocados to a local distributor.
Now for the Pantera content. Once I get paid for
able to afford to ship my cars (push button Pantera & convertible Corvette) from Seattle to SoCal, some time mid-summer. Two years of being separated from my Pantera, I can't wait to tear up some roads. _______________________________________________
