[DeTomaso] FW: Thank you from Asa Jay

[gonancy at juno.com]

Hi Asa Jay, and all,
     My bumper is a design I had Kirk do to fit the lights I bought off eBay, that was about 10 months or more ago. My "inspiration" was a car that I have no idea who it belongs to. It was at Monterey though and I'd had a pic of the blue car for months beforehand.  My husband knows who the owner is I think. 
     I couldn't be more pleased with the result!  I no longer feel invisible to oblivious tourists in the valley!
     Only required minor filing to fit it though and I painted it, Kirk sent it in primer. Pretty good fit considering no two cars are the same.  The wiring couldn't have been easier too. 
      I told Kirk  that once people saw the bumper that he'd probably get quite a few orders. The lights will probably work with small bumpers too. 

Thought you'd like some more info about the bumper,
GoNancy

Subject: Thank you

All,
I just received my latest POCA newsletter and Profiles.  Wonderful job on
all fronts.

First, I'd like to how awesome Nancy's Pantera looks with that new bumper
sporting the LED daylight lamps.  Just WOW that looks so great.  
I'll send Kirk a note privately on his design, the most awesome thing done
to an L bumper in years.

Second,
Reading Profiles and especially the recap of this year's Fun Rally, it's
appears the new Board of Directors is doing a great job with the club.  
I know I was partially responsible for causing the club some of the
consternation and fracturing in 2016.  It's now obvious from the quality of
the comments coming from the President (Gerry) and the great things Ed wrote
about the event, that the right paths were taken and the Pantera Owners Club
of America is and will stay strong in the coming years.  Thank you to all of
you for weathering the storm and making the efforts necessary to come out on
top.

Ed Mendez did a wonderful job of pulling together the Fun Rally this year
and it appears the Board was behind him.  From emails that flew around prior
to the event, I know Ed was doing a bang-up job and I'd bet he had some
sleepless nights, so all the more Kudos to him.  It looks like it was a
first class event and I'm sorry I missed it, but work and other personal
life things just got in the way.

I'm looking forward to seeing Gerry at the Silver State Classic Challenge in
September.

I know volunteering for a National/International car club can be both
exhausting, and rewarding.  I thank you all for making the efforts, making
the sacrifices and doing what you can to help keep the friendly, social
atmosphere alive.

I just wanted to let you know, before I forgot, because I have to go out now
and try to fix a riding lawn mower.
.... and it's hot outside.  ;)

Keep up the great work.
Asa
