[DeTomaso] Pantera

[Christopher Kimball]

John,

Denny and his wife are fantastic people!  They will do the car up right.

I've cc'd the forum so you can have the email address, I'm hoping one of the computer-savvy members can tell you how to set your system so you can get the ongoing emails from the forum.

Sincerely,

Chris kimball
President, Panteras Northwest

Please send me a link to the forum.  I don't remember if you have done so already.
 
Here is a news update about my dad's pantera.  I was contacted by Denny Finn who owns Finn's Auto Restoration & Custom in Hubbard, OR.  After taking my dad out there to meet Denny and see how he runs his business, my dad has got the car bug again.  He has entrusted the pantera to Denny's care and is researching car parts.  I really had no idea that my dad was such a car enthusiast.  He is talking about replacing the engine for an aluminum one and several other mods.  Before he had us kids he spent a lot of time and money improving the car's performance.  I just want to be able to take it out for a drive once and a while.  By the time I get to do that the car might be a monster.
 
My dad and I are planning to make it out to the Fun Rally in 2012.  We won't have the car there but my dad is really trying to decide if he wants to put fender flares on or not so hopefully we will be able to see different types in person.
 
Thanks for the help and for posting my initial questions to the board.  A couple of people were advising against putting money into the car which dumbfounded me a bit.  No matter though, they will most likely be envious of the end result.
 
John
