[DeTomaso] Great headlight bumpers

Hi guys,

The headlight buckets are supported in the 'down' position by a pair of 
small rubber bumpers on each side.   For some reason, the Pantera vendors don't 
seem to be able to get their hands on the original-style bumpers, and 
instead offer larger, hard plastic things that look terrible and require you to 
enlarge the hole in the body.

PCNC member Curt Hall managed to find perfect replicas of the 
original-style bumpers from some rubber supply house, and bought a trainload of them.   
He offers them for sale at a very reasonable price (they used to be $5 for a 
set of 5, but they might be a bit more now--he'll report in a moment and let 
us know).

Why a set of 5?   Well, the same bumper is used to insulate the fuel door 
on the outside-fuel-filler Pantera L, GT5 and GT5-S.

I just received a package on behalf of Mikael Hass; here is what they look 
like:

If your bumpers are a bit tired (my old ones were like stone and literally 
broke apart when I went to remove them), give Curt a shout and he'll hook 
you up!

Mike
