[DeTomaso] real quiet lately

[L GRAY]

   Thanks Michael. Sounds like you've got a bit of fun projects slated for your ride. Hope it all goes well ! I've had a set back on the Gr.4  car engine so my time line just got lengthened by a substantial amount. Trying to decide what to do about a cylinder head problem , which "may" be repairable or just not take the chance and replace the 4V closed chambered heads with another set. 
       The issue with replacing the heads is all the porting work already done on the set on the engine will have to be all re-done and matched exactly. What a pain !! Oh well............ it's only money!

Still here...just reading what little is being posted.  
Not a lot to share, next to last car show for the year this coming weekend and Hilton Head Island Concours the following weekend with a track day in between.
Then installing new steering rack, air horn, recovering door panels, and removing all 4 bumpers to be sent off to either be rechromed or powder coated black?
I'm about 75% sure of a full  yellow/black GTS paint scheme but I don't want to black out stainless window trim...thus the hard choice on the bumpers.
GTS paint scheme with all shiny bits or reduced shiny bits?????
Power wise, running the best ever, if not also the most sedate since the intake gaskets ( vac leak) were replaced, totally smooth idle at 800 rpms and well behaved street manners.
Taking orders for Detomaso Jackets that for Christmas presents and will be introducing new
Hoodie design too.
