Bill Lewis #4269, member of Space City Panteras/Houston.  I bought my
car in 1982, sold it in 1984, emailed POCA with the VIN in 2003, trying
to find it.They said it was owned by Willie MacKewen of Redlands, CA.
Contacted him and bought it back in March, 2004.  Trailered it back home
to Texas.  And, right now it resides in John Taphorn's garage, while I
virtually hand John tools as he weaves his magic.

I'm trying to decide what color to paint it:  flipping a coin between
Pearl Yellow and Pearl Orange.

And, my latest mechanical decisions from John, are what to buy for the
flywheel, the clutch pressure plate, and the valve covers.  Because time
is of the essence (me - I can see the banana peel getting closer in the
future), and the fact that I have zero mechanical skills, I am looking
real hard at an engine from Keith Craft - the 427 Windsor.

Being an old dog, but learning new tricks daily, I am open to any and
all suggestions.

So, being a newby, all I can say is that I am really enjoying my
Day-Toe-MAH-Zo Pantera.  And, is that pronounced Pantera, with a long
"A" sound, or "Ah" like the Spanish say it?
