Hi i am new to this board but i have made the decission to purchase a Pantera, I have looked at the Cars for Sale and do see some nice cars but nothing that is exactly to my taste. So i have decided to purchase a Pretty Solid car and modify it to my taste.
I am Partial to the GT5S body style without the rear wing. Also considering the GT4 option.
Sorry if this post is a bit long but i have lots of Questions and want to purchase a car this year so i can start work over the winter.
Can any member recomend a good body shop in the North East to do the GT5S or GT4 conversion i will be going with steel flares.
Was the front spoiler offered in different configurations i have seen more then one type.
Is there a complete wiring harness for the car to bring it to modern day standards like a Painless Kit.
What weak spots in the car should be braced for structural rigidy and so the paint wont crack.
Will a Fontana Block fit without any Mods to the Firewall or CrossMember.
Is there a EFI system for the Fontana Block.
My Plan is to strip the Car to bare metal and fix any and all rust and to stiffen up the car, to convert to a Square Headlight bucket and to Install Dynamat inside for sound and heat insulation. I am Planing to keep the interior mostly stock maybee modernizing the seats and all new Leather inside.
I am sure that i left a bunch of stuff out but i am starting to look for a Solid car and making a list of Mods, Any coments would be greatly apreciated
