[DeTomaso] 5177...still a long way to go ($$$$). but some progress

[byrdjf at embarqmail.com]

Back in the early 80’s, this poor NC redneck got a job beyond expectations.    A field service engineer for GE Power.   After the alligator cowboy boots, I got 5177.   Drove it couple years but my mangers forbid me for driving to job sites.    a local custom body/paint shop was going to put on all the flares/ spoilers/ etc Hall had to offer.    So I got it disassembled for the converson and paint AND then got an offer to become factory troubleshooter working international (extreme overtime).    Some how 30years happened before I knew it.   (Then health became a problem).

So by a strange friend of a friend, GunnerZ showed up 3 years ago.
