DeTomaso Mailing List: September 2000, Message #175

Thank you Fred: and by the way I met one of the Guys that runs the Oct. All
Ford Show here at the Cruise in this Sat. night.  I explained how I was
concerned that I didn't whant several....or even one....Pantera to make a 100
mile drive to his show just to be turned away because he was hung up in trafic.
He said if you pre-register (and pay your fee) you will not be turned away.  I
will usualy pre-register myself....I can understand that this is realy a"nice
day drive"sort of show and that if it isn't nice you would not whant to gome.
With that in mind,  Why don't I get all the info. on those that would like to
make it (subj weather); get to the show early with cell phone in hand.  Those
that are making the trip call me;  I hand in the form and front the $.  You
still get the 12oz soda if you show.  What do you think?   Ned

Ned,
	Look in the archives. I believe that a U-joints from a Toyota 4-wd fit

but they must be installed using this keepers. If you can go this route
you will be able to save some money. Replace all four joints if you have
the shafts out.
