[DeTomaso] What happens when we discuss DeTomaso...

[Robert Simpson]

Chuck,

The wheel finish is oxidizing but on a good note, I picked up a set of 
beautiful pristine Campys with BFG Euros for couple hundred a few months ago 
(6-8?).  I purchased the wheel/tire combo from a gentleman in Orange county 
(Gary?), he is a former Pantera owner and he replaced the Pantera with a 
Modena.  My plans are to eventually powder coat the wheels on 3468 and have 
a clean set of unrestored pristine wheels on the side for future use or 
cash.  I'll get some updated photos of the mounted wheels/new wheels and ID 
plates on the car.  For most getting pics seems easy enough but for me it 
takes several hours for me to get the Pantera out of the garage.  I am 
dealing with bulging discs in my lower back that have degraded from one disc 
to three.  I'll roll her out and get a few updated pics for ya, it's just a 
PIT, you don't realize how much you need your back until you try to sit in a 
Pantera, LOL.

Anyway,  thanks for the kind words about the car, she sits in her little 
time capsule (garage)waiting patiently without complaining, it's been well 
over a year since she has had any real attention focused on her.  My friend 
Perry in Redlands keeps me motivated when it comes to the P car,  he is 
quite possibly the best friend a guy could ask for.  He keeps telling me 
about the stuff we can do to 3468 when I get better, gives me something to 
look forward to.
Anyway, I usually just observe/lurk but when something catches my eye, I 
feel compelled to speak out.

Best regards,
