So you would think owning a rare and unusual Pantera would be the shizzle eh??? What could be better? Well it is kinda fun right up until the time you have to try and find a part or something. Like just this morning I found out that early euro GTSs have a totaly unique dashes. Now my dash is in beutiful shape, but what if I ever want to spruce it up?? Well it turns out the damn thing is done up in mouse hair!! Eeker
Where the hell am I supposed to get mouse hair??? Do you have any idea how long it would take to trap enough mice to refinish that?? You ever try skinning a mouse?? Xacto knife and tweezers?? Plus you would have to do like a thousand of the little buggers to do the dash!!
So next time you are thinking you want a really rare Pantera, start thinking about mouse hair. Razzer

DeTom,

You don't know the half of it. While in the early 70's major breeding farms were able to keep up with the demand for mouse hair fabric, now that PETA and other concerns have become active in animal protection, the source for genuine mouse hair has gone underground.

Much like Naugahyde (The poor Naugas were nearly hunted to extinction), mouse hair is only now found in the deepest black market transactions, in the seediest ports of the third world.

I feel your pain and concern over the special demands your mouse hair dash presents to you.

I offer my best wishes and hope that you can continue to handle the upkeep this rare and special feature of your Pantera will require.

Larry
