[DeTomaso] Possible Hood Vents

[rimov at charter.net]

I think we are all giving Art totally bogus, biased, subjective advice. We should all be supporting and encouraging him to chop up and decimate an absolutely perfect irreplaceable piece of Italian craftsmanship. As one of the few survivor stock virtually un-modified and molested Panteras left on this earth we should encourage him to not only to hack the hood to pieces but to also drop a much more powerful Dodge,  Chevy, Honda or Diesel Cat engine and chrome every thing in the engine bay, flair the fenders, add wings, spoilers, air scoops, gigantic wheels and tires and repaint the car Mystic  blue/green/brown with flames and a character of some Disney character on the trunk. Then replace the stock carpet with green shag carpet and reupholster the seats with genuine faux leopard print vevlatine.  As we all should know Art by now will typically pursue the opposite course of any advice given him.
