[DeTomaso] Pantera carnage

[John Taphorn]

Bill

I am modest enough to admit that is beyond my capabilities.  However, many 
who have a short history on this list missed the postings of Cal Esquisito. 
I may have butchered his last name.  Cal was in the military and stretched 
financially to buy his first Pantera.  Bought the best he could afford, yet 
it was only about twice as good as the one in those pics.  With no welding 
experience, he bought a MIG and went to town chronicling his progress on the 
forum.  Lots of ups and downs emotionally through the process and many of us 
doubted he would see it through.  All this was done behind his parents back 
as they would have been disappointed to know he had spent his savings on the 
car.  Not only did he finish the car, he bought another basket case with 
good intentions to restore it.  Life changes and Cal drifted off the Forum; 
but he will always have my respect for the tenacity of his follow through 
and the size of his heart when it came to doomed Panteras.

If there is anyone to tackle this, my vote is for Cal!!
