Pantera Panels

Try Joe in NSW, he may have some panels in stock or I think I seen them on Hall's or Wilkinsons webpages.

I bought new door skins about 10 years ago from one of the pantera vendors. It took a long time to get them and one side was about 1/4" larger than the existing door. The edges were bent over 90 degrees. I ended up selling them and welding in new metal in the corner of both doors. It is not the same as replacing a door skin on a newer car and requires some one with good metal working skills.

Thanks. That was what I was concerned about. Still not sure if some skins supplied by vendors are better than others. I will give Joe a ring also , thanks.

I'm going to need a left door skin so please
let me know how you go.

The door skins are hand made in Italy.

So are the door skins from all the suppliers made in Italy?? Just trying to determine if some skins are better than others from suppliers.
Cheers

If you are dealing with rust in the lower portion a good body shop should be able to cut along the door crease line and replace the lower panel piece.

Hi all,
I am currently doing a bare metal refinish on my Pantera #1128 & have found that the doors have had some very ordinary repairs done in the past. My question is are the door skins available through Pantera parts suppliers good quality & are the profiles the same for the push button & rectangle handle doors. Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm in Sydney and have two new alloy door skins if you are interested?

I bought Richard T's door skins.
He didn't disclose the size difference..
But I found a set of NOS panels from ford and bought them for my car so I will not be using the vendors panels.
There is a difference but the main reason I'm not using them is that they have some pitting from sitting around with surface rust, and I didn't like the way the door handles supports are made.
They could be made to work though.
