Wayne,

Should it really matter what "we" think? I may be wrong in my perspective, but De Tomaso owners are unique in that we can "adapt, modify, and overcome" to sometimes keep up with today's performance trends.

Think of it as this. For every owner of a 1972 Daytona Spyder who consistanly looks for correct imperfections in componants assembled with a left handed screwdriver, there are five Pantera owners out there that are creating cars biult "their way" that would put a Daytona to shame. As a community we learn most by the path less taken.

In my opinion, spend some time staring at it and picking the color "YOU" want. I see much more respect in a Man that will spend $$$$$ on a paint color he wants than spend $$$$$ on one evryone else thinks he should have. What I am trying to say in a nice way is:

Wayne: You own it, you've desered it, so do it your way.

Glossy body and matte hoods. Subtle but different. Not as subtle and different as before, but hey...

Hey Wayne,

I'm told they make a matte clear .. which is nice so thats the flat black hood and deck lid will hold a nice even sheen ... if you go that direction ... another option would be a Carbon Fiber hood and decklid ?

Ron

i made the car all one color( that way next year if i need a change ill just paint the hood and deck next winter . ill post pics soon when i get the car back . last step sand polish .
