Reply to "Pantera # 5357 - Rocky's 1973 L model"

(Not sure why my pictures didn't show up in aprevious post, so I deleted it...) 

 

Working with my buddy to keep the American Economy rolling forward.

* * I'm in the booth for paint!   Whoo-Hoo! * *

I suggested a couple minor modifications (bumpers, grills, gills, and a "old school" spoiler).... 

My body and paint guy rightly pointed out a couple items that convinced me to go in for paint...

 

Looking forward to the final result... 

 

PS>>>  PM me if you are in the Southwestern portion of the United States, are considering an update to your body, or need paint, and are interested in a recommendation to a Body and Paint shop that has DIRECT experience with multiple Panteras.... 

PSSS>>> I am digging the "old school" spoiler...

PSSSS>>> Somebody (on this board) sold me a bumper that was too short...  Discussions with Kirk Evans pointed out that fiberglass parts get smaller & smaller as they go through a mold / part duplication sequence, and you have to know what you are doing to end up with the fiberglass part to come out of the mold as the same size as the original.

I suspect the dude that sold me the front bumper knew that  it needed work to make it fit...  but he didn't tell me that.... GRRRRR....  Anyway - if he (or she) is reading this...  I hope that they feel bad for selling parts that they knew didn't fit, but pretending that they didn't know it...    But maybe they didn't know it...  Let's hope so... 

 

Let's hope these pictures work!  All three were taken today (5/21/2020)!
