[DeTomaso] Wiring Schematic Files

[Chris Difani]

Mr Laughton, and Pantera Listers:

My apologies to one and all for trying to provide a larger file version, at 
considerable personal effort, and to absolutely NO personal benefit. The 
fact that the originals are unable or unlikely to be enlarged and/or 
reproducible by the various owners of this, isn't of any account or concern. 
The fact that I left the original source labels on the file as a tribute to 
their original work, even though I went thru and cleaned up many of the line 
work inaccuracies seems to be of negligible value... or concern.

My only reason for doing this was due to the lack of precision in the 
original source work, and to provide a simple means where list members could 
provide themselves with their own 36" by 48" wiring schematic. It needed to 
be sharpened, changed to a vector format, digitally rescanned such that the 
line work became actual lines and no longer segments, and then digitally 
converted into a plotter friendly version such that Pantera owners could 
have them plotted to a large enough scale such that the linework no longer 
disappeared into confusion, at their local Staples or Kinko's. This is what 
I did.

And again, at NO benefit to myself, at a lot of time cost to myself... that 
I would have much rather spent working on my Pantera.

So the misguided attempt to repay all the great help and assistance that has 
been given to me over the years fails again.... I'm certainly not going to 
argue with Mr Laughton as to his concerns, and financial justifications. 
There isn't enough time in the day as it is, to waste on something like 
this. I'm sure he's doing what he thinks is correct, and I applaud his time 
and efforts in supporting the Pantera community. Again I apologize to one 
and all.

Chris
