[B]I am now the proud owner of 1971 pantera. The car arrived 3 days ago and I already have a list of modifications that I want to make. The bad part is that my manuals have not arrived yet! Modification 1 is having the wheels redone. What is the proper way to jack up the car to get it on jack stands? Also is there a place I can go to find the part number of the stock silver color paint for the wheels?

Congratulations AJ. I bought my '74 this past August. I know that Hall Pantera has the grey paint for the Campy wheels. Regarding jacking: the rear is pretty easy, plenty of room, just under the ZF in the center of the cross-member. Be careful in the front not to have your jacking shoe press on the bottom of the radiator. A good trick is to remove the shoe/pad from your floor jack and put a 2-foot 2x4 in it's place, this way when you lift the car, the metal on the frame cross member doesn't distort.
