Aside from heater shutoff valves, Lance Nist (who was Bill Stroppe's original mechanic in Long Beach) replaced the actual short pieces of heater hose that are rubber with braided stainless lines on my car. He said it's a real bitch if one of them break while you are driving it, having learned from experience.

I personally would just drive the car a bit and enjoy it as-is, absorb all that you can from the forums and Facebook group sites (Dave Adler's Pantera International is particularly a good one) and then think about what is important to YOU to do. If you listened to everyone on this forum and the FaceBook group sites, it would no longer be YOUR car but instead everyone else's idea of a Pantera.

And yes, it is still a 50 year old car and will crack in certain places regardless of what you do.

Enjoy your ownership. They are very unique cars!
