As far as exposure is concerned; Gas Monkey Garage's first posting on Instagram, of their finished Pantera, has been viewed by 147,666 people. Like it or not, that's great exposure. Comments are almost all positive. Their second posting was viewed over 100,000 times. Wilwood and GMG's wheel supplier (Rotiform) have also been posting pics of the GMG Pantera on social media and have had thousands of viewings.

Weights for wheel balance on Magnesium
by Charles McCall 21 Sep '16

21 Sep '16

Hi all I'm pretty sure I've read recommendations in this list regarding proper installation of the weights added during wheel balancing, but I don't remember what they were. Are there special considerations that should be taken into account when balancing a magnesium rim and associated tire so as not to damage the magnesium? Thank you!

Carpeting
by Forest Goodhart 21 Sep '16

21 Sep '16

A few years ago I had my carpeting redone using "Wilton Wool" material. This has proven to be an unwise choice as the carpet constantly sheds and in some places is down to the backing. I would like to replace this with something that looks good but is more durable. Does anyone on this list have knowledge of what would be an appropriate carpet material that comes is a color that matches mid 80's Corvette buckskin color?

Thermostat .... visual differenced between Cleveland and. Windsor thermostats
by Ed Lyerly 20 Sep '16

20 Sep '16

I have read several times of Pantera owners having overheating problems that were at least partially caused by using a Windsor thermostat in the Cleveland Pantera engine. Does anyone have a picture they could share which would allow a visual identification of the differences in these different thermostats? Thanks, --Ed L I have read several times of Pantera owners having overheating problems that were at least partially caused by using a Windsor thermostat in the Cleveland Pantera engine.

Tires for Grp IV Flared Car
by MyCars 20 Sep '16

20 Sep '16

I just bought 345-35 R15 Pirelli Asimmetrico (24.8" tall) tires for the rear and wondering what would be a good match for the front. I found 225-50 R15 Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R (23.9" tall). This would give the car a bit of rake, but what would the handling be like? Thanks in advance for your thoughts Roy

Fast and Loud Pantera

I think the biggest mistake was putting the intercooler right over the exhaust pipes... even in a coated state (which I do not think they did) the heat off the headers can melt paint if not shielded and as close as they are to the exhaust it is cooking things Kinda reminds me of many of the early sports cars where they floated the carbs right over the exhaust to be cooked before the gas goes into the engine.. great engineering Bob Benson I think the biggest mistake was putting the intercooler right over the exhaust pipes... even in a coated state (which I do not think they did) the heat off the headers can melt paint if not shielded and as close as they are to the exhaust it is cooking things Kinda reminds me of many of the early sports cars where they floated the carbs right over the exhaust to be cooked before the gas goes into the engine.. great engineering Bob Benson
