My ($175-total invested) rebuilt original struts failed completely Sunday. I went to a car show, raised the decklid, left it raised for the duration of the show, lowered it and drove home sixty miles in 95 degree heat. They acted just fine. Next morning, both struts are totally dead. No push at all. Maybe the engine bay heat toasted them? Before all I had to do was push the button and the lid would gently rise all by itself. Now they resist my efforts to raise. I'm not throwing any more $ at...Read More...

Looking for MY 72' drivers seat tracks. The holes on the floor measure 13.75" front to back.Read More...

Evening / morning all, depending on where you are. I'm getting down to changing the race spec Goose back to (or rather toward) road / stock. The previous owner was 6'1" and decided to lower the floor on drivers side (only) to fit more easily with a helmet on. On a smooth as glass racetrack not much of an issue, but when I was in Sicily it bottomed out A LOT, so time to change! The help I need is guidance as to what it should look like. The passenger side (LHD car) doesn't seem to have been...Read More...

I am looking for a used Carpet for the driver side. Just shipping some stuff, so could ad this to package. Used condition with small holes etc. would be ok. Dont want to put the whole carpet out, just replace the very bad driver side on my car. Offers welcome with pics.Read More...

While I am replacing the calipers and rotors I have been mulling whether I should replace the hard lines. For those that completed the project was it relatively easy, or did it require removing major items (e.g. engine)? At 45 years old I am just concerned the lines can’t be in great shape but I may be projecting my wear and tear on the car as we are around the same age. I could attempt to bend them myself or buy the prebent SS kit from Summit Racing. She isn’t getting driven for the next...Read More...

Have you guys seen this before? I have been working on putting my front end back together and ran into an issue with a new upper ball joint. The castle nut on the upper ball joint, when torqued to 36 lbs, goes so far down the bolt of the ball joint that it makes the cotter pin hole useless. I have to put a spacer between castle nut and the bottom of the bolt. ThanksRead More...

I received a notice today from Hemmings regarding a pushbutton for sale from PI Motorsport. Clicking through the add I see that it is #1383. I thought the last pushbutton was 1382. Just curious as my very early Pantera is 1386, is it the 4th or 3rd off the new line?Read More...

Hello my friends, My name is Michael Millard and I am Rick Mitchell’s stepson. I am new here, but wanted to introduce myself and make everyone aware that I now build the custom window regulators for Rick and Ted Mitchell. Sadly Ted Mitchell passed away a short awhile ago. :( Rick and I sell the custom window regulator sets for $750 via PayPal. His design is plug and play with instructions detailing everything. The hardest part is getting the old heavy regulators out. Our custom regulators...Read More...
