Has anyone researched hood vent designs?
by Ken Green 30 Jul '16

I'm having a light weight hood made and will modify the leading edge of the front trunk as needed for the vent, but am not sure about the location of the opening, specifically how far back from the nose.

Rear Window Cracked.....again
by Matt 30 Jul '16

30 Jul '16

"Is it possible that the car being on jack stands could have tweaked the car enough to cause the glass to bind as it re-tweaked to its natural state?" "Does anybody think it has anything to do with it being on jack stands prior to glass entry" Rob what is probably nagging your subconsciousness is the idea that the rear glass is a part vital to the structural integrity of the car, and without it being in place the shape will change during jacking. I'm no engineer but that idea sounds absurd and you should eliminate it from your trouble shooting thought process. Sure they flex some, but rather the idea of an imperfection in the seating like Mike D. said sounds more plausible. Is the opening entirely straight sitting on the ground? Is there extreme heat near the suspect cracked areas? Was the glass properly de-burred of all sharp edges? Do you have a seat belt bar mounted to the firewall that might be preloading it? Just shots in the dark.

Selling Parts?
by Corey Price 30 Jul '16

30 Jul '16

Is there a better place to advertise some engine parts than this email forum? I don't usually see much advertised here. Not trying to step on toes or overstep my bounds if this is taboo. If taboo, my apologies. I have a 351C block with extensive work, some brand new Crane Cams roller lifters, and a Kevko fully baffled Pantera oil pan to sell. I have two 351C blocks and don't need to store both. The 351C block is bored to just under 0.020" over, sonic checked with minimal core shift, good thrust wall thickness, line honed, 4-bolt mains with ARP studs, CNC decked to a mirror finish and indexed to the crank, and the lifter bores were bushed via a CNC machine with orifices for hydraulic roller lifters. I have over $2000 into this block and I would like to recoup some of this so don't expect used block pricing. This would be a really great basis for a powerful engine! It hasn't been honed (intentionally) so someone could have it honed for the pistons and rings they will be using. I think I can ship this via truck freight. The Kevko pan is used but very limited use. All three items sold separately or I can lump them together. Please send me a private email if you're interested.

Pantera on Big Easy Motors
by Dave 30 Jul '16

30 Jul '16

My friend, Charles Handler, co-owner of the Bomb Factory and star of the TV show, Big Easy Motors, asked me to post the below information: Hi My name is Charles Handler and I am the owner of the Bomb Factory in New Orleans. I wanted to post to your Pantera community to share my thoughts on the car we did on our show last week. First of all for the record- I love Panteras!! I have always wanted one and I wish I could afford one. We did one on the show because I love them so much and we had a chance to get the one we found. If I presented Panteras in a negative light, I am not sure where. They have known cooling issues as ours did. But rewatch the episode and see at the end where I say "the hardest part was letting that car go. I love those cars" that is totally true. Hang your hat on that statement FWIW. We had to create some drama with me saying the "parts may have to come from Italy" but we also showed repeatedly how the engine is made in the US and parts are easy to get. The research on the particular Pantera we did (which was not shown on camera) showed this to be an original west coast car that had only one small bit of rust in one rocker. Other then this and a few things like an antenna plug which we filled, the car is a solid original car that is unmolested and in extremely good condition. For the record, we are a high end paint and body shop and we put a show - quality finish on the car. Just because we did it in two weeks, does not mean we dont care or we are sloppy. We did excellent work on a car that needed little to be made beautiful. Please don't confuse the speed of a job with the care taken. We take extreme pride in our work and we put a lot of love into this Pantera. Finally, the sale price for the car is absolutely in line with the market for a solid original car with a fresh coat of paint and in perfect mechanical shape. There is nothing about the situation of the sale that is out of line with the market for these cars right now. I really truly wish I could afford a Pantera. I would prefer a 72 that is Orange with black rockers. Someday, I hope to own one of these. I am very glad to see so many passionate Pantera owners on this message board and I sincerely hope that each one of you all understands how much we love these cars and why we chose to do one on our show.

We had to create some drama with me saying the "parts may have to come from Italy" but we also showed repeatedly how the engine is made in the US and parts are easy to get. The research on the particular Pantera we did (which was not shown on camera) showed this to be an original west coast car that had only one small bit of rust in one rocker. Other then this and a few things like an antenna plug which we filled, the car is a solid original car that is unmolested and in extremely good condition. For the record, we are a high end paint and body shop and we put a show - quality finish on the car. Just because we did it in two weeks, does not mean we dont care or we are sloppy. We did excellent work on a car that needed little to be made beautiful. Please don't confuse the speed of a job with the care taken. We take extreme pride in our work and we put a lot of love into this Pantera. Finally, the sale price for the car is absolutely in line with the market for a solid original car with a fresh coat of paint and in perfect mechanical shape. There is nothing about the situation of the sale that is out of line with the market for these cars right now. I really truly wish I could afford a Pantera. I would prefer a 72 that is Orange with black rockers. Someday, I hope to own one of these. I am very glad to see so many passionate Pantera owners on this message board and I sincerely hope that each one of you all understands how much we love these cars and why we chose to do one on our show.

Re: [DeTomaso] Selling Parts?

I agree as well. That adds to the "resource" aspect of the forum.

I agree with what Asa Jay has to say completely. I wouldn't like to see this turn into a Vendor glossy ad campaign, but I think it is quite interesting for them to answer a specific request and gives value to this list just like Larry does. People are looking to source a specific part and they learn where to do it and how much it costs. Everyone wins. I also, personally, think it's fine for individuals to advertise if they have things they'd like to get rid of.

Corey, Generally speaking, I think we've had a lot of folks advertise on this email forum like this. For personal parts and stuff that you're selling or needing to buy, it's a great place to start. I think a quick post like what you made is just fine, and don't forget to post on POCA and PI forums. On the flip side, I think it's generally accepted that we don't advertise businesses or business parts on a regular basis. But look look at how Larry Stock has been doing it... I think that works very well in the construct of this email forum. Larry has been responding to some posts with (basically) "hey, we got that" as he owns Pantera Parts Connection. It's not like he's taking out an ad, but more like he's saying if someone really needs one, he's got one. It's not like the ad emails that come in every day from other outside vendors that you just purchased one part from. It's like me popping in and saying hey, I have one of those on the shelf as a spare and I'm willing to sell it to you. I'd enjoy seeing other vendors pop in once in a while and do the same thing.
