DeTomaso Mailing List: October 98, Message #46

From: Peter the German
Since several People on the List asked
me ,here is a little update:The P is off the 
Frame Machine. There is very little orange
Paint or Tar left,we cut away all the little
metal strips that hold the wiring harness.
It looks really mean sitting there with all
shiny bare metal.
Many thanks have to go to the members of 
this List that Posted some tricks and tips.
Many a Problem came to my attention
very early and can be solved beforehand.
Special thanks to Jack DeRyke --My
Gastank had been painted black at some 
point of Time and looked very nice.So I 
thought--Aah just leave it in there,it never 
had a Problem.After reading all the posts
about rusted trough Tanks I finally decided
to take it out and  SURPRISE! it had 5-6
little holes right where it sat on the Frame.
Next Week we'll start putting Sealer and
Primer on some Parts and then I have to
finally make up my mind what Color its
going to be.Still think Red is IT.
I would post some Pics of the Process
but unfortunatedly I am way tooo big an
Idiot on this stupid box to load pics
from the camera and post them.
How did all you guys learn that?O.K.
gotta close down the shop.
(and sneak around the "P" 3 more times)
and go home.
Bye 
Peter "the stripper"
