[DeTomaso] Pantera Advice Needed--

[asajay at asajay.com]

I think one of the best switch installs I'd ever seen was on Larry  
Finch's Pantera (if I recall).  It was mounted in the engine bay on  
the passenger side up near where the decklid would cover it.

Larry, did I get that right?  Can you provide a photo?
