Hi everyone,
I am close to completing a Pantera project I've been working on for several months (the "Pantera Consolidated Maintenance Checklist" I
mentioned on the Realbig Pantera Listserver board in December). One of the things I need to review for it is a complete set of the Pantera International club magazine's "Technical Information Articles". These are the articles written by PI members that were numbered similarly to the Ford Technical Information Articles (e.g., Group 28 Part (Article) 11, etc), and included as a separate loose "insert" in the PI magazines before 1992 (they were numbered and sent "loose" from the magazine itself so that they could be taken out an inserted into a loose leaf binder with the Ford Articles if desired, to have everything in one convenient place). Note that these are DIFFERENT from the similarly numbered POCA member Technical Information Articles that the POCA club current sells a complete set of.
Anyway, I have obtained a nearly complete set of the PI Technical Articles, missing only the articles that were inserted into the following 3 issues: Volume 2 No. 1, Vol 7 No. 2, and Vol 12 No.1. If anyone still has the articles "insert" from any of those 3 issues, I would greatly appreciate getting a photocopy (I will be glad to pay a reasonable fee for your trouble). Unfortunately, I can't tell you the
exact article #'s (e.g., Group 28 Article #10) I'm missing for those of you who've unbound the loose articles and combined them into a set, so I really need the help from people who may still have those inserts stapled together as they originally came.
BTW, I've contacted PI itself (Dave and Linda Adler), and they were able to supply me with some of the Articles I was missing, but even they don't have those 3 inserts (apparently they don't even have an archive copy for those 3 issues inserts). Thanks for any help anyone can give.

P.S. I'd also be interested in buying an original (or copy) of the Vol 2 No. 1 and Vol 12 No 1 issues of the PI magazine itself too (I already have Vol 7 No. 2, just not the insert that went in it), if anyone has
one they'd like to sell or copy.
