[DeTomaso] Really Rough Pantera/ radio delete plate?

Saw a rough-looking dude with a rough-looking old pushbutton in the
"Pantera Corral" at Cars n Coffee a long time ago.  He said he drove
it a lot. Wouldn't call it a Rat Rod though, as that term kinda means
to me flat black paint/bare metal/unfinished sanding with all manner
of DIY art-junk holding it all together. Which might be kind of
interesting, if some resourceful, talented builder took a beater
Pantera and ratted it out.
But this thing just looked like a scary rust-bucket that ran. What I
want off that eBay car is the radio-delete plate with the cat on it. 
Very cool!   Anybody aware of these being available out there?  I'd
jump at the chance to delete my radio/cd unit that the engine laughs
at whenever I try to use it.

Now, I am thinking...Has anyone ever done a "Rat Rod" Pantera, keeping
it
original and just refresh the mechanical for driving?
