Offenhauser
by Rich Hoppe 27 Jun '25

I saw a really good you tube video about the current operation of Offenhauser. A lot of info about all the molds that were produced by Mr Offenhauser and they still have them in the shop. Ca company in the same building as has been for years. Only 13 employees and now only make a small number pieces at a time. I found it interesting. Rich Sent from my iPhone

Hello everyone, I am new here and recently in possession of a ‘74 Pantera that I have been doing some work on for my FIL. I tried joining the PI forum several weeks ago, and have been waiting for administrator approval. Can anyone provide insight on that as to why it still hasn’t been approved? I’m currently trying to diagnose an AC problem and I’m on the verge of getting figured out. I’m also interested In drive ability upgrades, possibly chassis bracing, and brake pads with a better bite in on cold rotors for the aftermarket wilwoods on the car. Sent from my iPhone

Shift Linkage Trunion Bushing
by Doug Braun 24 Jun '25

24 Jun '25

I just bought a Billet Trunnion Bushing from PI Motorsports which appears on this page of their website about half way down https://pim.net/tpage.html I mistakenly assumed that the poly bushing in it has some misalignment capability (i.e. a spherical bushing) but alas, no, it is pressed into the aluminum and rigid. Has anyone had good or bad experiences using this item?

Door Skin - Drivers-side - wanted
by Mark Charlton 17 Jun '25

17 Jun '25

Hello All, I had an unfortunate mishap, and find myself in need of a door skin for the left side door. While mine “might” be reparable, and could certainly be re-made by a “craftsman”, the latter seems to be in rather short supply in my location. Is there anyone out there making decent quality skins that are available for purchase? Many thanks!

Re: DeTomaso Digest, Vol 252, Issue 2 (or 27!)

It's interesting... The server seems to be sending out two sets of emails (with different Issue Numbers) - both are Vol. 252, but Issue 27 (or so) and Issue 2 (or so). I'll bet it's not supposed to do that! I thought it would send out only one email summary per day?
