[DeTomaso] Worst restoration project item (Re: shifter u joints)

[Bill Lewis]

Because there is a finite number of Panteras...(I've said this before, but Justin's email brings it to mind) at some point in the future ALL Panteras will be completed, be in pristine condition, and be drivers/racers - it may be 50 years, but it will come - because of boys like Justin doing what needs to be done!  How do you say Yahoo in Italian!!   ---BILL

I spent months (just a few hours a week though) on my back, wearing a hair net and goggles and a mask, with a wire wheel on a grinding too, ripping away the undercoating.  it came off in little rubber balls, that went EVERYWHERE.  And if I went to fast, it heated up and started to melt, making molasses out of everything but not coming off.  My walls were coated with the stuff.  The first time I worked on it, i did not wear a hair net and my scalp was full of little rubber bb's.  that WAS pretty bad.  Windshield was more acutely painful and frustrating, though in my opinion.
