New member looking at first purchase

That's what I'm leaning towards,
It's just spending this kind of $ for something that will need more work is a tuff pill to swallow.
I was surprised to see that at least sitting there the doors don't sag at all and only the front flares have cracked, neither the running boards or read flares have cracked.
But I wasn't happy with the way the inner fender and cut original fender were just left, not even painted or tidied up, is that the way it's supposed to be?
But the value and rarity are going up so if not now maybe never.

Look around the front(A)pillars, at the base. Also around the tail lights. These are prime areas for cracking.

PS- That is a nice looking cat.

Thanks Jeff,
The sale is a done deal, just waiting for the check from the finance company.
I'll have her home this week hopefully..
Area around the windshield and lights looked great, no sign of rust.

Congrats!

Congrates...
More pics, please!

Awesome!
Welcome to the club.

Mike

Congratulations!

Well I got her home 2 weeks ago, but with the hours I work and the fact I'm currently in disneyland for my daughters 4th birthday I haven't had a chance to do much.

And having to resize all the pics I take with my phone is a PITA. LOL. I'll get around to more pics as soon as I get back home.

Looking forward to seeing them.

I use a free tool called Irfanview to batch-resize pictures for upload to this (and other) websites.

Makes it easy to select all the pictures in a folder and do a batch resizing (640x480 for example) and save in a new folder. And if a picture is still over 200kb, you can 'save as' and lower the quality to get the size down.

Congrats Ace! Nice looking car. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with it.

Also keep in mind that you're really not hung out there at the edge of the world in Maui. Besides this forum and the other one at POCA.com, there are several Pantera owners on Maui and maybe 15 collectively on all the islands. My youngest son lives in Puukolani.

Finally found some time to get a look at my car.
I've been told that this's is what $6000 NASCAR rockers look like..

Here's the 1150 demon carb, was hoping to install a choke kit to cure the lean popping while cold issue, but dont think they make one for this baby.. Lol

A look at the height of the Yates NASCAR intake,
I thinks it's about as high as the tunnel ram that was on my 66 elcamino in high school..lol

Hey Bosswrench,
I've talked to a few of the owners on maui, and the owner that built this car, seems there's a good support structure here.

You ever get over here to visit your son?

I need to address the leaking right cover on the ZF,
And the bolts were to long keeping the valve cover from being torqued properly.

Anybody have an opinion on the headers? Do they need support at the mufflers? They just kinda "hang" there.
And if you grab ahold of them you can get quite a bit a movement out of them, while they flex.

Yes, they most certainly need to be supported at the mufflers. If they are currently not so supported someone has removed the factory supports, likely you do not have stock Ansa mufflers anymore. Correct?

Have you looked to see if the stock, attached to the chassis, muffler support brackets are still in place?

Larry

Sorry I should have mentioned I have 180 degree headers.

Wife Judy prefers the Big Island so when we visit the kids, its usually a day-trip from Kona-Kalua. Not planned right now but if we do, I'll PM you. Cheers- JD
