[DeTomaso] Pantera GT5S Roof line

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Mike,

                 Slightly late follow up.   So... the roofline is 
physically the same, but is "lowered" because the whole car body is 
sinisterly lowered by the tires,wheels and suspension, i.e. the entire 
car is lower and the roofline is physically the same.

                                Now I understand,  Chuck Engles
