[DeTomaso] advice needed

Sorry to hear about the paint chipping Chris.  I saw your Pantera at the PNW vintage races on Saturday.  It looked GREAT : )    My stock deck shocks have gotten weak but I simply fashioned a piece of 3/4" PVC pipe with rubber stops on each end to hold up the deck lid when needed.  Cheap, simple and effective.  Mike R.

Chris, Doug and I noticed that when we saw your car at Keith's last Friday.  The struts have too much force for what you need.  Sorry to hear the paint has chipped.  Most of the vendors stock a replacement cartridge with a proper strength for a non-wing decklid.  Try Dennis Quella, Larry Stock or Steve Wilkinson.

That’s frustrating, if the deck lid was aligned well for panel gap all round and closing consider switching to the IPSCO kit that relocates the shocks and the force point.
