[DeTomaso] Passenger Window Frame Needed

[Forest Majors]

John,

You might remember Wally Baldga from Le Belle Macchine events at Pocono. In
any event, Wally has a grave yard of Pantera parts scattered on his Farm in
Suffield Connecticut. Wally's phone number is 860-668-5690. Wally has an
"occasional Pantera business" but his farm and septic tank business is his
primary interests - But in any event, you might want to call Wally and see
if he has what you want. Wally was the guy that put together the PONE
Express with Pat Mical and PONE members that has been raced at several
events on the eastern seaboard.

Regards
Forest Majors

Subject: [DeTomaso] Passenger Window Frame Needed

I am presently restoring a Pantera and in need of the passenger door frame
that surrounds the window.  I do not require the trim that adheres to it.
This section of the door is welded to the lower part of the door.  

A piece that is from a damaged door would be fine and probably preferred.
If the frame surround is bent or twisted, that is probably also fine as I
assume we could work it back to shape or section what we require.  

Our challenge is that when the trim was removed, it was discovered that the
frame had badly rusted and does not appear repairable.  Fabbing up a
replacement section will be a challenge as the measurements must be very
precise to accommodate the trim which is pressed into place.  The area of
the frame that gives us the greatest concern is where the forward top corner
is atop the pseudo side vent window.

I realize that there is presently an entire passenger door for sale on EBay,
but we would like to escape this predicament with less money out of pocket
if possible.

Anyone have a thrashed passenger door or the ability to direct us to a
resource?  I do have a couple of leads I am chasing down before calling the
vendors.

Thanks
JT
