[DeTomaso] On the road again !

[B. Seib]

I had a deadline to meet.
Yesterday was the annual local Boeing plant show and shine.
I've been talking about it for 11 years, and you never know when it's your
last year, so I said I'd finish my Pantera and bring it this year....

Put 11 miles on it yesterday, but was up very late a couple of nights
getting it there.
Lots of little stuff still left to do but 3217 is alive again. First time on
the road since 1980!

Thank you all for your help and encouragement in this long process.

I've learned  that Ford era Panteras are very difficult to restore to
original appearance.
Original parts are very hard to find and the reproduction stuff is 90%
disappointment. The owners are the biggest resource attached to owning one
of these cars - the best part for sure.

Special thanks to Mike Drew, Bill Taylor, and Mike Dailey for the huge
resource that they have been to me in this journey.
