What about the "other" DeTomaso classic, the Mangusta? Certainly not as plentiful as Panteras (only 400 made, and maybe 200 still around). A curvy body that has no bad angles whatsoever, Ford/ZF powertrain, but with plenty of space back there to fit nearly anything else. The original car...

Thx Mick, that's very kind of you to offer. I've had one of their units in a turbocharged Japanese rice rocket that I own, and like it a lot. It's been in there nearly 9 years now, and not a moment's trouble with it. Ally radiators have received a lot of unjust criticism, but if you keep your...

Glad to hear things are looking up for you and your radiator problems. PWR get high marks on this side of the pond too. IMO, they build great cooling systems (radiators, intercoolers) and stand behind their work. I just wish they were a little closer to us here in the USA. Over here they...

Mick, if you're fairly sure you've got a corrosion issue, and it's not mechanical failure, here's a quick test you can run if you have access to a DVM (digital voltmeter): With the car cool and not running, remove the radiator cap. Set the DVM to measure DC volts or millivolts. Connect the...

Re: RF GT40 For Sale Nice stance! (and a free bump.)

In TX, our Transportation Code is always subject to "interpretation" :)

The Texas Transportation Code is similar. Chapter 547 which lists all the mandatory equipment doesn't specifically state that a windshield is required, but wipers are. Sec. 547.603 WINDSHIELD WIPERS REQUIRED. A motor vehicle shall be equipped with a device that is operated or controlled by...

Rob, I think it must come with the F18 canopy......:thumbsup:

I swear Fran, it looks like it's tailor made for an F18 canopy top. Is the rear clip hinged, and the front one is a pull off? Any windows planned, or WYSIWYG? Let's see some more renderings/pics.....

I know this thing is designed to slice through the air like a Ginsu knife goes through tomatoes, but any chance of toning down the sharp edges, and getting a bit more roundiness/curviness in those transitions on the sides? Or is this where the plastic surgeon gets to do his magic? Edit: Will a...

What about a roof? :lipsrsealed:

Sure seems like a long time when I'm waiting for it! I'm not talking about anything complex here either; usually just a flat chunk of ally or steel, for use as a bracket, mounting plate, etc. The last little project did get moved to the head of the line, and I had it the next day when I...

I need parts occasionally, and it's always a struggle to find someone who's willing to do only 1 or 2 pieces. There's a water jet place I use on occasion, but they're always backed up, and it takes at least a week to do a 5 minute job. What's the maximum thickness of metal you'd be able to do...

Recently I "discovered" Google Reader which is a handy program that goes out and collects RSS feeds from news services, forums, blogs, etc. that one subscribes to, and displays them on a single page. In layman's terms, if you like to visit 4-5 forums a day and check for new posts, this program...

Fran, will it be basically the same car you showed in your early photos, or are any changes anticipated in the sculpting of the body? (ala Mesa's concept below). Your early rendition was already a gorgeous car, but (IMO) some toning down of the "sharpness" would make it absolutely stunning:

I've been running the Mocal version of that thermostat for nearly 7 years on my 2JZ Supra motor. Works well - no problems. You can see it on the right in this pic, taken in early 2004 just before the motor went in the car.

All this and an Electromotive TEC3r? Not to take anything away from the product, but for all you've already put into this, I'd have thought it would be at least a MoTeC M800, if not a Pectel, or EFI Technologies box.

Ron, here's an alignment procedure from Lakewood.

Graeme, very sorry to hear about the personal issues. My other half is never happy with the money and time I spend with the cars & engines, but I keep telling her they're a lot cheaper than keeping a 25 year old mistress :), plus she knows where I am all the time, and doesn't have to worry about...

Nice find Graeme, thanks!
