[DeTomaso] Trunk heat question

[Curt Hall]

One Question?
Why mount the Fire Extinguisher in the front truck? God for bid there would be a fire chances are it would be in the engine compartment or under the dash! I would think you might want to locate it in the Cab where you could get to it as fast as possible! Just a thought!

So, perhaps this is a silly question and this is normal, but as a relatively new
Pantera owner, it bothers me that the front trunk area gets so hot!  the engine
runs relatively normally at 190 deg, but yesterday sitting in traffic in 75 deg
weather, i could see heat waves coming off the front hood.  when i got home i
opend up the front hood and could barely touch the master cyl. and reservoir.  I
also have a fire extinguisher mounted up front, no way i could pick that up. 

Is this normal?  i understand that it might be given that later models (i have
a 72) have the vents in the hood, but is something going on? appreciate any
thoughts you may have...
