Reply to "Question about the Gills"

markcharltonOld enough to know better and still young enough not to care. My '71 Pantera

Jamey,

I believe that all Pantera side gills are essentially the same size so it should be no issue. I have a '71 car that the previous owner cut a hole in the side gill to install a newer style exterior filler. Unfortunately he didn't make the fill neck pipe smooth enough and it is a nuisance to fill properly. I simply re-installed the engine bay pipe and until I get around to making a new curved neck, and fill from the engine bay (as I've done for 10 years on my other '71 Pantera).

As for the side window glass (I assume you refer to those), I am sure you can have some formed by a decent glass shop that has an oven (rare). It is curved in one direction if I remember correctly. Asking around (as you're doing) might turn up a set because guys often pull the glass for improved air flow.

Good luck with your car and these first few projects!
