To correct the record, Tom would not be rolling over in his grave at those
modifications. Tom was the judge at the POCA Lone Star Fun Rally in Texas
a few years prior to his passing. I had the honor of guiding him through
the Pantera corral and listen to his observations. He had little interest
in the stock Panteras and delighted in seeing the creative modifications to
his design. His top choices and ultimate #1 pick went to a modified car.
He loved the flares, etc. He welcomed people applying their creative
vision to his design.
