[DeTomaso] Antenna Hole

[Daniel Schultz]

Yep, probably should have had it welded shut.So much for the cheese Pebble 
Beach crowd. They'd probably throw me out anyway for not having the original 
undercoat on the car.:> I think I have to go to better stocked hardware 
stores. I'll give the big ones a try.

Thanks again everyone,

Dan
