Reply to "Goose 8MA584. Restoration in Iowa"

While the suspension is off to the platers, I thought I'd finish up the last of the structural improvements that my Mangusta needed. I have learned a lot about how these cars were constructed and it's apparent that as the years went by DeTomaso recognized that there were a number of improvements that could be made to make the cars better. One area that was in need of help was the rear "H" crossmember that locates the lower control arm. Early cars like mine were not as strong as later cars. So, after Steve brought it to my attention I did some studying and learned how the later cars were built and decided to incorporate this improvement into my car as well. While this was not done exactly as the factory did it I believe it accomplishes the same thing.Mangusta482Mangusta483Mangusta484Mangusta485Mangusta486Mangusta487Mangusta488Mangusta489Mangusta490Mangusta491Mangusta492Mangusta493Mangusta494Mangusta495Mangusta496Mangusta497Mangusta498Mangusta499Mangusta500Mangusta501Mangusta502Mangusta503Mangusta504Mangusta505
