[DeTomaso] Glass for the Pantera

[littofreakydevil at aol.com]

 Ahh.. gotcha.. well I knew about some pantera cracking the glass when they glued it in.. I think the reason they didn't use it before was because the achesive didn't exist or it wasn't readily available?... If the windshield is only held in with a gasket I wonder if any windshield ever flew off before... hehe

True- but thats the 1/2" thick semisolid stuff used to bond windshields into 
a car with no gasket. Unfortunately, DeTomaso didn't choose that method on any 
of his cars. And the people who have converted their Panteras to a bond-in 
windshield sometimes get cracked glass when the body flexes. good luck- J DeRyke
