Reply to "Pantarga ,?????????????hello"

Wayne,

I'm sorry to have misled you, or anyone else with the caption under the first photo in the Pantarga album stating 'just stook a sawzall to the roof...' My '86 GT5-S is an original Carrozzeria Pavesi converted factory targa. The caption was meant as a joke as converting a Pantera to a targa top is no small or easy undertaking. The car requires extensive reinforcing. Most people in the Pantera community know of the Pavesi targa Panteras.

In regard to the cars structural integrity, I jacked up the car from just behind the front left wheel with the roof off and the whole side lifted off the ground! With both tires about a foot off the ground, the doos opened and closed with ease, and all gaps in body panels were unchanged. I even put the roof back in just to see if it would be a problem. It went in just as if all four wheels were on the ground. I was very impressed with the cars rigidity.

Michael
