[DeTomaso] Interview With Mike Ring Of Ringbrothers About Their Pantera At SEMA

[Will Kooiman]

That was a nice video.  There were many more pics of the car.

I like what he did with the roof scoop and fresh air intake.

And he didn't really say that owners wouldn't be a fan of what he did.  He said that owners wouldn't like that he cut up an original Pantera.

He didn't do the interior.  Nike did.  I think Nike needs to stick to shoes.

He said he replaced the fenders, doors, and deck lid, but they all look original with small changes on the edges.  Why?  He said the deck was aluminum, so that makes sense.  The front trunk lid has serious mods, plus is made of carbon, so that makes sense too.  But why would you replace a steel skin on a door that looks just like the one you removed?  Unless the original was rusted or beat up.

One thing's for sure.  I wish I had their talent.  I would do things differently, but with their craftsmanship, they could build anything I could imagine.
