[DeTomaso] Cooiing.

[Charles Engles]

Dear Jack,

              Dick Ruzzin was kind enough to send me a couple of pictures of 
the radiator spoiler (?).    Certainly, it appears to be as simple as it 
sounds.
              Now, to restate the obvious: it is of absolutely *no benefit* 
in low speed city traffic, but is helpful at freeway speeds and 
upwards..........right?   Maybe some of that 2 or 3 inch wide industrial 
rubber type stuff that Maddog is using along the sides of his Pantera might 
be the suitable stuff?

                             Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
