Awesome. Purchased a set to check em out. Thanks!

The "branding Iron" logo is a Euro car thing (later, not early if I recall correctly). The rectangular emblem is the standard front grille logo for American cars.

They can be bought at Wilkinson/Hall/PI and (after the pin is snapped off) be adhered with foam tape. The POCA store logos look like vinyl not metal as on the Orange car.

Not sure I understand your question. The old fender flare gets cut off so that the new flare can be positioned. After the new flare is welded on, the remaining extra fender under the new flare is removed, and the inside of the fender is smoothed.

It's been a while, but here's another update on the Pantera. Keeps looking rougher and rougher doesn't it?

The paint has mostly been sanded down to bare metal, or "All Metal" (an aluminum based body filler) in these shots. I'm happy to report that the car is very straight for the most part. There is evidence of a small fender bender on the right front fender, but other than that, it's solid. Notice how much lead is in the rear uprights. It probably 1/8" thick, maybe more. That'll all be sanded out and built up again with All Metal.

MacMan, I don't mean to side step this topic, but I do have a question. Can you give me as much info as you can regarding the old Team III wheels you had on your car? Backspacing front and rear, Tire Sizes, Etc. I an thinking about ordering a set. What is your opinion about the backspacing? Should I use the same as your old wheels or would you recommed a slightly different dimension? Your help is much appreciated

The recessed emblems is a Rodder's trick. What you do is cut a whole in the location you want your emblem, then build a small metal box slightly larger than the emblem and tack it on the back of the body panel. Then fill the instaled box with body filler and push the emblem into the fresh plastic, before the plastic is too dry remove the emblem (using thread instaled on it BEFORE pressing it in). The VOILA you have a custom touch for your Cat.
