[DeTomaso] Deck lid wobbles

[Bill Moore]

Kirby, I have the steel louvers, and they are staying on, I do like your
wing, sorry to hear it will be hard to come by. Long live the wing, I agree
with your reason for it.

Just so you know... even though you were kidding...

It's a Kirk Evans design from a long time ago. He called it the 'Turbo
Wing'. If I'm not mistaken, it's vintage 1981 or so.
There are quite a few Panteras running around that have them, but I don't
think he makes it anymore.

The one he sells now is called a GSX wing.

Just to pass, eh.... We'll see about that.
