Hello ,
I have my pantera completely disassembled and ready to send out to get stripped.That should be gone for about 4 weeks. Im currently working on sub assemblys, I have a couple of questions that Im sure you guys can help me with. I bought this car disassembled and so far, When I go to look for parts , everything is there.Right now I want to just get the body repaired and painted and reassembled back to the original factory condition and modify the areas that I cannot change at a later date. I have extensive restoration experience, But this is my first pantera and this is my personal car.
Need one outer rocker panel, one patch panel, in the right inner wheels house, I need some structural square box type vertical repair panel, Whom sells the best product out there ? I have a brake and sheetmetal bent ect, i like to buy panels if i can.
Should I box in the factory original control arms and or modify the uppers to correct alignments concerns, as some posts I have read about front alignment issues?
Were do i get the brake lines, does someone make them pre bent or do i have to cut off the fitting and make them myself? Looking for the hard lines,not the flex hoses,
Car is to have 23,000 miles, Should I get the rack rebuild , can i do that myself? I cleaned it up and looks very nice condition, not binding or sticking, tie rod ends are tight.
Thanks in advance, Bob
