[DeTomaso] Cooling system

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Forum,



                  This reminded me that one of my Pantera friends here, 
just installed a new Hall Pantera radiator in his newly restored 
Pantera, only to have it develop a leak after a few months and several 
hundred miles of gentlemanly use.  No warranty.  Repairs were 
surprisingly expensive and more than I would have guessed.   Why I do 
not know.

                  I do know that the old fashioned brass radiators in my 
two Panteras are working well.   One came from Pantera Performance about 
two decades ago and the other came from Pantera East shortly thereafter. 
FWIW.


                             Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
