Reply to "I just stumbled on to this article"

The car shows well. Not sure the as-usual-five-spoke full chrome wheels are a logical match to a blacked-out-chrome car. Curious about the mirror finish dash insert and console. Plastic? High gloss wood finish? Noticed two outboard dash-mounted AC vents. I have contemplated that modification for years. Studied the layout closely with dash and heater box removed. I came to the conclusion the stock heater box really offers no functional/easy/logical manner to tap into the existing two center vents air supply stream. Yes, you could tap into the floor air supply stream, but then you need to keep that selector lever at half-floor and half-car; not an ideal solution. Curious how they did that modification or if vents are just for show.

If someone asked me how I would improve that example ....

... remove delta wing
... remove screw-onto-the-spoiler eBay/China LED daytime running lights
... replace one-off billet AC grill with stock unit
... remove red fog light mounted below LH rear bumper. Yes, such high-intensity fog lights were used
on post-Ford European versions. However, the one used is not the correct Carello piece deTomaso
used
... lower front and rear suspension at least 1 1/2"

... and please, replace that 40 year-old-it-will-break-sooner-than-later red plastic clutch hose.
I wonder if the stock Girling calipers are still fed by the forty year-old rubber hoses, too?

Flame suit on....

Larry
