Mike,
you'll have to save them in a .jpeg format. The mix format will not open on most computers unless they have your digtal camera software.
Open them up locally, (on your computer) and save them by clicking on the file type and choosing .jpeg. Then try and post them again using the .jpegs you just saved.

Oh man, where did you get the window slats. I want some of those. Like the Boss car mustangs and the Mach ones. I like. I like a lot.
The slats came from one of our fellow PI Forum members. I bought them a few years ago after posting a "Parts Wanted" message. Sorry, I don't know who made them but I do remember that I was told they are no longer made.
There are two types of Pantera slats that I have seen. Mine mount on top of the deck lid. They are aluminum...and they rattle! Not enough to be heard inside the car, but kinda irritating just the same. I thought of oozing some black silicone where each slat intersects the center brace, but then I could never paint it again (you know what I mean if you've fought silicone contamination on a painted surface).
The other type mount down in the recess of the deck lid. Those babies are really nice! No rattling with them. They mount so cleanly that they seem to be suspended in the opening. Beautiful! Once again, I was told that they are no longer in production.
I think your best bet is to start inquiring on all the boards to see if you can scare a set up. I think I paid $300 for mine and a set of the really nice ones was offered at $1000 once. That might help you determine their potential value if you find some.
Good luck, Mooso.

Thanks. I think part of the reason I like them so much is it goes with the time period that the car was in. Remember how Mach ones had them and had the low decal on the sides?? It looks so natural on the pantera, and if done right will not obstruct the rear view. And it kind of ties in with the louver theme already found on the car.
DeTom,
I have an original ad from Mind Train, one of the vendors who made them. It even shows a break down of the parts to make them, although not very detailed.

DeTom,
If you ( or anyone else on the BB) is interested in a set of these louvers, please drop me an e-mail at bob@dodgecarroll.com

Is it something you can email or is it a hard copy??
BTW, I noticed your nick. I lived in Lincoln Nebraska for twenty three years myself.
Just to let you know you don't have to use silicone on them,you can use Seam sealer and it can be painted over,any bodyshop or paint supply place will have it.
It is the stuff they use when they do a restoration on a car and re seal the panels of the interior and paint over it,they also use it in the trunk area. Hope this helps you out...

Yep, born in Nebraska. Lived in the panhandle. Anyway, all the Mind Train info is hard copy. Probably won't fax. I can mail it to you. Let me know if you're interested.

Husker,
I've got what I believe are a set of the Mind Train louvers that I may one day install on my car. I'd be very interested in seeing a copy of the ad you have & would be more than willing to pay for copying & mailing costs you might incur in sending it out. Please contact me at the e-mail in may previous post for my shipping address if you would. Thanks!
