[DeTomaso] Fancy a bit of a project?

[Mike Drew]

Dave,

A lot (all) body panels have been sold in those 12 years. Front fenders are available stamped in two halves (top and side). But quarter panels, and rear panels simply aren’t available anymore. They could be made but only in unreasonable quantities—many hundreds or thousands of each. And nobody has the money to warehouse a couple of thousand quarter panels. 

The only realistic source for these would be parting out wrecked cars. 

Don’t crash. And don’t screw up a perfectly good Pantera with a juvenile comic book fantasy like those guys did....:(
