For those of you whose Pantera gets wet...

I've just spent many hours rust proofing #4012 with Dinitrol 3125. Haven't finished yet.
I've done all chassis sections behind the doors.
I drilled a few holes and plugged them after with plastic plugs.

There are a few water/mud traps in the back end of the Pantera.

The first is between the chassis mounts for the lower a-arm. Mud and leaves can get trapped in this area and will rot the side of the box section. My car didn't seem to have any drain holes for this area - it does now.

Another is where the battery lead exits the sill/rocker in front the right side wheel.
Muck and water can get into the sill/rocker by running down the cable. This then collects in the area where sill/rocker joins the post that is behind the door. It will rot out bottom of the post and lower part of the sill/rocker. The aluminium splash keeps most of it out - but not all.

A third is the chassis section behind the wheel at rear of the wheel well. This has a drain hole about an inch from the bottom of the chassis section. I found mine full of muck so I cleaned it out, drilled a drain hole at the bottom and sprayed the inside with Dinitrol.
