Reply to "chopped top"

BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2001 I PURCHASED A '74 PANTERA #5723 FROM THE COLLECTION OF KEILL KUVALE (THE SAN FRANCISCO IMPORTER OF THE NEW MONGUSTA) IT CAME ALREADY WITH A TINTED SUN/MOON ROOF, REMOVABLE, FACTORY OR PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED. IT IS (FROM THE OUTSIDE), PERFECTLY FLUSH AND LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. I DID NOT WANT IT AT FIRST, BUT AFTER GIVING IT A TRY, I REALLY LIKE HAVING IT. YES IT DOES OPEN UP THE INSIDE ESPECIALLY WHEN REMOVED (CLOSE ENOUGH TO A TARGA TOP FOR ME). THE ONLY ONE DRAWBACK, IS THE PERIMETER MOUNTING RING PROTRUDES DOWN INTO THE "HEADSPACE" 1.0 INCH. IF YOU LIKE SEEING THE MOON AND STARS WITH YOUR GIRL AT NIGHT, I SAY GO FOR IT!! BUT DO NOT DO IT YOURSELF! HAVE AN EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL ONLY, INSTALL IT! GOOD-LUCK, MARLIN. I WANTED TO ADD: IF YOU DO NOT REMOVE THE GLASS PANEL, BUT CHOOSE TO JUST LEAVE IT OPEN THE 2", THE EXTRA VENTALATION IS VERY VERY WELCOME, ESPECIALLY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. AND AT SPEED ON THE FREEWAYS, IT IS QUIET WITH NO VIBRATION!!
