[DeTomaso] Servo heater control

[Asa Jay Laughton]

I applaud your ingenuity and the cleanliness/aesthetics of the final 
product.  I have to wonder why you didn't simply implement something 
from a newer car by ripping stuff out of a pull-it-yourself lot and 
adapting it to the Pantera heater system?

Also, I would recommend using screw-clamps on the heater hoses, not just 
those wire-spring clamps.

The finished interior looks very nice, I hope it gives you years of 
trouble-free operation.  :)
