[DeTomaso] A couple of questions from NZ

[Hamish Lamont]

Hi guys

 

Way back in 1977, in suburban New Zealand, a low to the ground, thundering beast
of a car clipped the apex of a corner on which stood an awestruck eight year old
boy. Thirty years later the promise the kid made himself that day is close to
being realised: I am GOING to have one of those! 

  

I’ve been ‘lurking’ on the Forum for a while now (getting my fix vicariously)
and thought I might just say Hi and ask a couple of questions. 

 

What’s the deal with the front bumperettes with integrated turn signals? I’ve
seen them on everything from Pushbuttons to GT5-Ss. What model are they from? 

 

Right now I’m doing my Pantera ‘apprenticeship’ (before I import a car from the
US or UK) and working on my wish-list and budgets. 5263 which is for sale at P I
Motorsports would be an ideal starting point, except for poor timing (mine that
is, not the cars) I’m building up a new business and I’m just not quite in a
position to bite the bullet, though I’m planning to get to the States in
October, visit PIM and look at some cars, before I come back and buy one in mid
08.. 

 

Ultimately I’d like to take an already modified car another step with steel GT/4
flares and a GT5-S front valance and air-dam. Has anyone ever seen pics of a US
car done like this?

 

Cheers

P.s. Here’s something fun you might want to contribute your suggestions to: 

 

You can tell you’re a Pantera person when…

Instead of being in awe of the knowledge of Einstein and the generosity of
Mother Theresa the person you hold in the highest regard is Mike Drew.
