[DeTomaso] Car is finally home

[bwerner at live.com]

Hi:  I finally got my car home after being in the body shop for the past 2 plus years.  I am very happy with the paint job and the body modifications.  I didn't want to copy what someone else has already done.  I think I accomplished what I set out to.  To begin with, this was a low mileage 73L which had been stored for the past 25 years.  For the life of me I can't understand why someone would not want to enjoy driving and maintaining a classic like this.  I was torn between putting the car back completely to stock or modifiying the car to my tastes.  Well you can see from the photo's it is far from stock.  I had 2007 corvette HD headlights installed, hood vents, roof vent that is functional, rear deck scoops and modified LED tail lights.  The engine and the transmission is modified also.  I am going to use a lot of carbon fiber on the interior.  I have chromed, polished, powder coated everything that is not painted yellow or black.  Once the suspension comes back from the  powder coater, I will drop the car down and install the engine and transmission.  I know I have a lot to do, but isn't this the fun part of a project like this? Anyway that is what I keep telling my self.  I know I am going to have a lot of questions, and please if you have any questions or ideas along this project send me an e-mail or give me a call.  My name is Bill and my cell phone # is 541-410-4180.  It is 8 degrees here at home in Bend, Oregon and we have about 10" of snow on the ground.  I hope all your wishes come true in 2009 and have a Merry Christmas.[URL=http://rides.webshots.com/album/556572095KfXgPj][IMG]http://thumb19.webshots.net/t/59/459/7/77/95/2337777950099748999mWSHwU_th.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
