Having seen quite a few Panteras both in Europe and the US, it never ceases to amaze me the clever technical solutions some people come up with. And some of those technical solutions are posted on forums like this, but some are not, and are thereby kept “secret” to the rest of the DeTomaso community. A shame. So why not make a catalogue of those ideas? Right here?
My thinking is to have “unique” ideas posted here. Each idea only one post, so we don’t get pages and pages of the same complex thing. And then if the reader wants to know more, he can follow a link or pm the author.
I put “unique” in ‘“s’, because you never know. Somebody else might have done the same, or very similar. This is not about “I invented…”, and it’s not about patented solutions, it’s about sharing the ideas. So if you safety wired your ZF, probably a good idea, but probably not that uncommon, so not applicable here.
So here are the rules I suggest:
1. “Unique” ideas only
2. Max one post per idea
3. Technical, not body work, not “I put pink leather inside”…
4. No criticism or “I have a better idea” or “this won’t work because”… If you have another/a better idea, just post it, and let the reader be the judge…
If George agrees, I’m sure he’ll help police this. And might even make it a Sticky if we all contribute? I’ve posted this on Alessandro’s, it should maybe be in Technical, but there’s no overriding Technical area, it’s split into Coach, Engine etc. And this Technical Idea Catalogue should hopefully address a lot of technical things. George, up to you..
Let me start things off with 4 ideas that I think are kinda “unique”, going from the rear to the front:
