So I contacted a Pantera owner last night (Hi Cal!)about his opinions on finishing my car, 3468. He said the first thing I should do, is join a local club because of the vast amount of information and practical knowledge. I kick myself in the rear because my good buddy Perry, YEARS ago, told me the same thing and I didnt act on it.

Long story short, I can retire in 17 months and I want to try and drive my car to work before I retire. Two questions:

1. Are there any local Pantera owners groups in the Inland Empire of Southern California, I am in Hemet.

2. Are there any local enthusiasts that do repairs on the side in the same area?

It seems with the perceived increase in value of our cars, the cost many shops are charging, is or has gone up too.

Thanks.

If this is in the wrong area, please let me know and I will move it, or the Admin can delete it.

1. California Highway Panteras Inland Empire (CHPIE) covers your area.
2. We have a member who lives in Hemet that usually attends meetings.

4. One of the best Pantera shop in the country is Don Byers at Full Throttle located close to you in Lake Elsinore. His number is nine,five,one,two,four,five,seven,three, zero,zero

The car has been sitting since 1991. I picked up the car 15 years ago and it has been hibernating in my garage. Jack DeRyke inspected the car in Minden and said the car needs the electrical redone, brakes, ZF inspection, window gears and cooling upgrade.

I'll be calling the Pantera Club chapter here in the IE, so at least I can get some more tips.

Sorry for the screen name confusion, I joined several years ago and tried to update my email and it wouldnt allow to login, so I created this new screen name.
