Reply to "Pantera Front Cut"

Nice metalwork and a lot of it! The only known reason for pop-up headlights in any car are the old headlight-height laws some areas specified for unknown reasons. They seem to have mostly gone away.

The GT-40-look hood exhaust requires cutting the front section of the front trunk away, and that part is a structural part of the Pantera's front monococque, so I suggest some sort of bracing should be added back. I put an aluminum angle-iron crossmember between the lower frame rails behind the steering rack, and it not only stiffened up the front structure, its what my dropped battery sits on with no battery box needed.
