[DeTomaso] Blueprint?

Mon Apr 4 14:24:58 EDT 2016

I found the “AH” type chassis drawings online, can’t recall where now.  It was a scan and skewed.  I cleaned it up good enough for me to use.  Even going down to 2bit.bmp it is a large file

I got the drawing from “AugustaBoy”.  Matter of fact, I got the one that was laminated.  Given that is for a modern body, I am going to put it up for sale

As for the requested blueprint, I made an offer to “Jimlah” when It was up for sale.  Also I was hoping someone had a scan of a better quality or maybe ever who got that one had it scanned

My recent purchase of “Style Auto 29” was in hope there was a similar drawing in the article L

Additionally, Anders Hellberg is offering the attached chassis drawings for sale too.  If you don't find him on the list, I think you can find him on the PI Board.

Cheers!

Hi Joe,

There are more close up images from that blueprint available from this link:

http://pantera.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/8450045562/m/8891091456

And I think he's offering prints for sale. Check directly.

Here's a Factory control document for Basic overall dimensions for a 1980 GT5, however the drawing date is March 1980, so it might be more correctly a 1981 GT5:

Also, about 8 years ago Jack DeRyke reported...

The early version of the Pantera Tech Service Bulletins, the back two pages (Section 47-11-04) has an engineering dwg of the '71- 75 front and rear suspensions, and on the next page, various drawings of the car's body/chassis from different views. The dwgs shown have extremely thin lines, and for those used to reading such prints, you'll find that Italian engineers apparently didn't subscribe to SAE directions for doing such dwgs. There are numerous critical dimensions not 'properly' referenced, imaginary points shown and a host of other confusing features. Nevertheless, they do represent the car; just don't try building parts to those prints. Oh, and because of the very thin lines, the dwgs don't reproduce; this may be why later reproductions of the original TSBs left this section out.

And, there's also this one (attached) that's out there as well.

Cheers!

Garth
