It was not a matter of poor planning, but cash is king. With the deauville and longchamp, it was about the cash flow. I can recall several times being told to stop work on one car or another. It seems that some part of the payment process had stopped. I can recall a Blue Longchamp, that was there 1981-2 because the person who ordered it kept changing their mind about the seats. We would work a little on it and then stop.

It was different with the Pantera. We generally worked on their first come first served. In the summer of 1984, I was working on Three at a time. I would do the one part over the three and then start with something new and repeat it over the three.

There was also the customer cars that was kept at the factory and we would do work on them when things were slow or someones car came in for work. We had a Pantera with Nebraska plates, that we would get told the owner was coming and wanted to drive the car. We would all focus on that car, with Segadoni calling the shots.
