[DeTomaso] WTB Carbon Fiber for my 1971 Pantera

[Ed Mendez]

Thanks, I bought the car from a friend of mine who has had it in his garage for the last 25 years, he got it out of paint from the original owner who could not afford to finish it. He has been putting it back together ever since. Polished and chromed everything. I bought it last April and got 17" wheels, Wilwood brakes, all stainless hard lines, stainless water lines and lay down radiator, just need to finish the interior.

I just joined POCA a week ago, I have not ever even driven the car yet...

Don't know if you can post pictures here but here it is...

Look forward to the comments and help as I am a Pantera newbie.

Ed
