Subject: [DeTomaso] Pandora's first trip


After finally rescuing my kidnapped and abused car, I drove it to its first
real outing today, to the Bowen Scarff all ford show in Kent.  It's about an
hour and a half round-trip.  I had just completed putting in the new ATO
fuse panel, so that, with the new engine and all the body work that had just
been completed, made me a little nervous about all the possible gremlins.

The car ran great, with the exception of a minor fan problem which appears
to be just a loose wire at the Dakota Digital fan relay box, which I
resolved, and the horn only works when it wants to (a problem it's always
had).

Electrically, it looks like I was pretty close, but not perfect in my wiring
since now the lighter is switched and the heater/AC fan is unswitched.  

The best part is, at the show I won first place in the "All Pantera, Cobra,
Ford GT" class.  Of course, that's not as impressive as it sounds, since
there were only three entries in that class...

At any rate, the car seems to be ship shape, and I couldn't be happier!  As
always, thanks for everyone's help.

Sincerely,


Chris

PS:  How tough is it to find/service/replace the horn?
