[DeTomaso] Installing early front bumpers on smooth nose Pantera

[Ken Green]

 Good suggestion, I'll try, but it's smooth now, and I think the original holes are on slightly raised areas that are no longer there, assuming it originally had these bumpers.  The VIN is 5093, I'm not sure what was used in European cars around that VIN?

 Ken,

Can you look inside and find where the original holes were?
