A A That is Tony Ortiz that owns and built that car. He is a good
person,
A A and put his heart and soul into it. Some like it, some don't,

A A does win trophy and after trophy with that car. I know some
people
A A don't like my car, but my feelings would be deeply hurt if
people said
A A that about my car on a public forum.
A A Everyone builds their Pantera to their liking, even the Ring
Bros
A A Pantera was built by someone's dreams of what they like or
want.
A A It's not our place to judge but to be here for each other, and
support
A A each other.
A A Tony is one of us, a Pantera person.
A A If you want your Pantera in Profiles, please submit an article
and
A A pictures to Mike Haney at [1][2]paso750 at gmail.com.
A A I encourage everyone to do so...

A A A magazine sent to you by mistake was in fact the Profiles,
with the
A A A black Pantera with GT40 front and rear etc. that Profiles
had the IMO
A A A poor taste to put on the cover and rear and centerfold.
A A A I of course quickly turned to the build-text, because I
wanted to try
A A A to understand WHY? Was there a Pantera with smashed front
and rear
A A and
A A A a GT40 parked on railway tracks so only front and rear was
saved? No,
A A A the author states "for some crazy reason". Indeed.
A A A I saw this car at POCA in Arizona a few years ago, where it
was
A A parked
A A A in the "look-at-me" spot right in front of the doors, so you
had to
A A A walk around it. After refusing the first couple of times, I
did take
A A A the time to look it over. And the craftsmanship was
excellent
A A including
A A A mirror like pint. Sometimes when you see "menacingly
modified" (quote
A A A from Profiles) cars like this, but well done, you can state
"I don't
A A A like it, but I'm impressed with the craftsmanship". Well not
here,
A A not
A A A this one. Even though the craftsmanship is good, you do not
build
A A your
A A A car to look like another brand. As simple as that.
A A A I hope the skillful builder gets the GT40 he really wants
and leaves
A A A our Panteras alone. And I hope Profiles editor has better
judgment
A A A going forward. In the same envelope was the Membership
Renewal
A A Notice.
A A A Brave! Whether I renew or not depends on the reaction to
this mail.
A A Am
A A A I alone here?
