[DeTomaso] Fw: Possible Hood Vents

[Art Stephens]

> Hey John,
>     I appreciate your comments.  If Ford/Detomaso would have had more time

> cooling problems with the car,  it seems like the way to go is to lay the 
> radiator down and get as much vent area as possible.  It just seems like a 
> logical update to me.  Therefore,  I am not opposed to cutting up my hood, 
> but if I can sell mine for 2K to someone that really wants an uncut hood, 
> and then buy something else for $500,  I guess that is what makes sense.
