You need to determine if you appreciate the Pantera as a true classic car,
or if it's merely a blank canvas for you to create a mid-engined hot rod.
That will determine the direction you take. The nice thing is, there's
really no wrong answer in the Pantera world.
Some of the flush-mounted windscreens have a huge black band all the way
around the inside, that actually reduces the area you see through
significantly. I think that looks like crap, and can't understand how anybody would
pay good money to make that modification. If the glass is basically 100%
clear, then there's no real downside other than the fact that it looks a bit
odd having trim on the sides, but not on the front.
Personally, I prefer the classic look, especially if the rest of the car is
more-or-less stock-looking....
