Pantera Repair pics

robertvegasMember

Hey all,

Here are the pics from the accident, up to repair pics from last week. Haven't received pics from this week yet.

The work is being done at PI Motorsports. They say the car is in great shape, and repairs are going smoothly. No surprises found during tear down, no lasting damage.

Here are the pics at my Flickr account.

It was hit harder than I had first realized from the original accident photo's.

I see you are losing the side markers and L bumper shock holes whilst at it.... good idea it will clean it up considerably.

Personally I would not allow a half fender and half air dam to be cut in, I'd insist on full replacement.

Isn't it bad to cut out more good metal than needed? I will ask what the plans are for the air dam.

Glad I am getting the bumper holes and side markers filled. Also getting rid of the mirrors, filling the holes and getting the mirrors that attach to the windows.

Having had an entire fender replaced on 2511, I do know you have avoided a lot of repair time (read that $$$) in NOT replacing the entire fender.

Full fender replacement would have needed welding near the dash/A-pillar area. That in turn would have meant windshield and dash removal.
