[DeTomaso] Overheating and fan directional theories (Doug Mann)

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Charlie,


               We are going off on a tangent from the curse of Pantera 
overheating, but your discovery of that old photo of Doug Mann reminds 
me that men of his caliber only come along once in a generation.  Four 
vents: elegantly simple and a work of breathtaking genius.


                               How nostalgic, Chuck Engles
