Anyone have a lead on a pair of aluminum door skins or a fabricator that can make me a pair? Also looking for a good used fiberglass decklid.
Thanks in advance,
Julian

Hi Julian -
You can try this guy. The AZ Pantera club visited his shop a couple of years ago, and all were suitably impressed.
He also has a Pantera on his web page.

Julian, Hall Pantera still has those aluminum GR-4 door skins on their website catalogue, as of Friday. Not sure on the glas decklid. Larry Stock still has the molds to make composite decklids- probably from carbon fiber if you'd like. Then you can get by with far lighter action deck lid shocks, too.
Rocky, thanks, I had already reached out to Antonio as he sells patch panels on eBay.
Jack, the carbon decklids on offer are just an overlay for aesthetic purposes, they are no lighter. There was an outfit in Europe making true vacuumed and autoclaved parts at one point, they are the only ones I know of. I don't use decklid shocks.
That's why I suggested having Larrys shop make you a full-carbon-fiber-without-fiberglas using his mold. Kirk Evans in OH could also make you a real carbon-fiber decklid. If you're going to this much trouble & expense, using a decorative carbon overlay is kind of car-showy; not your style.
I made an aluminum rear deck lid for my car and the doors should be no problem. Randy 541 295-9777

PI Motorsports has decklids listed in fiberglass and carbon fiber. Not sure if that's current though. I thought at one point they advertised door skins too, but likely not in aluminum. I have never dealt with them though.
