[DeTomaso] 1972 Gumball Detomaso Pantera

[Mike Thomas]

My engine builder had a neat pair of stands that bolted to the motor mount
flanges.  I put castors on them and was able to roll the unit, with the ZF
supported on a dolly with it's own wheels, anywhere around the garage.

Hello Friends ,
 
The Gumball Pantera is getting ready for Its cosmetic body restoration. I
will try and document all for everyone to view as the process begins.
 
This weekend I am having the engine and ZF removed for easy access to the
engine compartment.I am going to remove the fuel tank as well so that we can
clean and restore the fuel tank while the car is in the shop. 
 
Question for the group:
 
When we pull the engine/zf should I rest it on top of 4x4's to protect the
oil pan? I am open for suggestions on what to do with the engine once it is
pulled out . What kind of apparatus is used to place the engine on when it
is pulled from the car ?
 
Hope to hear comments soon.
 
Regards,
Robert
