[DeTomaso] Two Pantera Questions

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

Not that I know of. Here's my car, the diagonal brace from below the fan shroud to the inner fender was completely missing on Björn's car. The brace is a boxed member about the same cross section as my wrist. Only Michael see's the pic of course. I don't think the side mount cars have the brace either.

      The biggest problem was the weakness of the body where the single mount bolts in. I have compared side by side my own car (#2004) and Björn C's car (#1014) and it's easy to see that there is significant improvement in that area.
