[DeTomaso] [detomaso]Pantera weight savings ideas

Sorry if it has been mentioned, but Smokey Yunick used to acid dip the steel
body. He experimented, sometimes too much metal was removed, and it became
too weak. He also sectioned the Camaros to get weight off and COG lower. He
forgot to tell the stewards about it...

Cut your fingernails.

>>>They're radials.   They're fantastic tires, but will wear out quickly, 
and are quite expensive.   Amazingly, they're available from Summit:

re-size/295-40-15

Summit doesn't list the rears for some reason, but they are also available
in the equivalent of 345/35-15.
