[DeTomaso] Pantera

[Mike Thomas]

John
Here is an excerpt from a new member intro I put together for Panteras
Northwest.  You'll find the instructions to get tied into the Realbig
Pantera email Forum.  Good luck and keep us in the loop.  We're always
interested to find out how a resurrection is going.  Mike Thomas, VP,
Panteras Northwest, VP, POCA.+


 The Pantera email forum is an international forum where anyone can look for
advice on how to fix or find anything, look for another member or search
history on a car, just about anything you can think of. The forum is a great
place to start asking questions: the only rule is that there is not such
thing as a dumb question, so ask away. You can join the Pantera forum by
going to http://realbig.com/mailman/listinfo and clicking on the link to
DeTomaso. There are two outstanding member websites.  One with probably the
most comprehensive range of Pantera information and technical help, is
http://www.panteraplace.com/, set up by POCA member Mike Dailey from
Atlanta, GA.  The other is www.provamo.com, set up by Chuck Melton.  He has
probably the most extensive DeTomaso register currently being worked, and
it's likely he has history on your car.  He also has an extensive Cars for
Sale listing, as well as parts and technical into.  Both of the these are
hobbyist sites, and are there for the DeTomaso community to enjoy.  However,
both Mike and Chuck are not opposed to help in supporting their sites should
the data they've provided be of use to you.

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

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

John,

I think I responded to your email already, but if not, let me know and I'll
get you connected to the forum.

Chris
