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

Getting very close to delivery.  All hardware painted and installed (bumpers, gills, grills, mirrors, spoiler).

A little buffing, a clean up, and she should be ready to hit the road.

Here's a couple of pictures, of both the paint, and some of the finish work on my fiberglass bumper, and new (old-school) spoiler.

 

I don't know if you recall (I sure do) - but some dude sold me a fiberglass bumper, and after I got it painted and tried to install it - it didn't fit.  It was about 2" too short across the front of the car.  Discussions with Kirk Evans indicate that fiberglass parts have a tendency to get smaller in the manufacturing process, and that there were front L bumpers circulating around that had this problem.  I guess he (the seller of my bumper) forgot to mention that.

The professionals at Duval Body and Paint split and extended the bumper, and then trimmed the back of the bumper for a near-perfect fit to the front contour lines.  The split is in the center - under the DeTomaso Logo.
