I will post pics and updates. With the Pantera pics are required because I want it to return it to as original as possible. My last build I hardly documented anything and didnt take many pics ( pre Digital days)

About a week behind my personally imposed schedule. Pressure washed with spinning head attachment,   almost ready for media blasting (1 more round of pressure washing)  It must have been a Laquer paint job with no clear previously. Lots of checking and the paint blew off in chunks.  I will be happy to see it stripped and in primer.  It has the Uglys currently.  Would like to see it one color,,,, any color

Dustless blasting turned out well. The undercoating was brutal. Moving along (Slowly) but moving just the same 

Couple more

And more. The hood needed some metal finishing after the blasting , blasted the underside first and removed the structural adhesive, That removed the underside support so when the top side was blasted it tin canned it down some. All is good.   Lesson learned.  

Looking good Jerry! Great story and thanks for sharing. Looks to be coming along very well!

Good progress there!  Keep the updates coming!

ZF Adventure's

Found 1 race with pitting on one axle hub. Replaceing both sides.  She cleans up pretty well I think. 

 First pic was from a customer car. Said the Motor making a squealing noise LOL. 

Been a heck of a couple years. Long story short Body shop owner passed with covid, Found a new (much more Pantera familiar shop) Built and outfitted a new garage for the build, now 90% retired (my tools came home, so I'm not going back 😊)

I'm back at the car after a involuntary hiatus.

Most components/assemblies are "reconditioned" So after Cavity wax things should (hope) go smoothly🤞🤞  JerrySr

a few pics

I love your shop security !

work is looking great

Thanks, My security team  ( 2 of them) are a major threat to Scooby snacks only. LOL

Just dropping a couple photos, Going faster than expected but slower than I hoped. Sorting though baggies for hardware is grooling.

Next up finish pulling wires and tackle the doors, Windstar motor,  full down mods. Fuse box and adding relays to curcuits

look for a PM

Nice clean looking bulkhead!
