[DeTomaso] Measurements needed!!

[JDeRyke at aol.com]

An interesting exercise. Don't forget to do the same measurements on the 
left AND the right front. Its fairly well known the Pantera front monococque 
was welded in jigs that were more-or-less different (or have moved relative 
to the tub over 38 years) so a completely stock Pantera measured as above may 
show as much as a 1-1/2" protrusion for a wheel on the right side while the 
same wheel bolted into the left side may be level with the fender flair 
edge. LIkely not all Panteras are this way, but enough are that a max-width 
front wheel just won't fit predictably on all cars. Good luck- J Deryke
