David Bruns designed the revolutionary Formula Ford Swift DB-1 along 
with the other DB series cars (DB for David Bruns).  He certainly did a 
lot for the formula car market...

I talked to a client today who worked on the GT40 and for Gurney etc. and asked what he thought could be done.  He recommended talking to a local guy named David Bruns who has designed race car suspension for years.  I was thinking that it might be worth getting a few people together and each putting in some $s to have Bruns (or someone like him) analyze the Pantera suspension and draw up some mods to update the suspension.  Basically one or more compete designs which are minimally invasive.  I was thinking of limiting it to sway bars, control arm mods, and upper control arm mounting point position changes.
