     A Now the
     flare appears to be just part of stock quarter. A Not too much
     flare; not too
     little. Very structurally sound.

   Another installment. A Here is a shot of some rust abatement in
   process. A The
   car was relatively clean, but it's a rare Pantera that doesn't have
   some
   rust hidden behind the lower quarters and rockers. A The only way to go
   is
   the right way...thanks to the skilled technicians at Perfect Body
   Autobody
   (For those that might be on the fence for same, they can be reached at
   A 631
   244 7777.) A It may seem like a shameless plug, but I wouldn't bring my
   Pantera to anyone else in the NY/NJ area. A Joe has rejuvenated a
   number of
   Panteras and knows what they need and how to do it.

   When I bought my bone-stock, aging Pantera 19 years ago, the first
   thing I
   said was "it needs fresh paint." A I set out to refresh it mechanically
   before tackling the paint. A So, 19 years later I've finally gotten
   there
   (now there's more stock parts in my shed than on the car.) A The car is
   currently at Perfect Bodies Autobody in Bohemia, Long Island NY.
   A Fellow
   Jersey Panteras member Joe DiVillio has stripped it bare, eradicated
   the
   relatively minor rust demons, welding in metal GTS flares and replacing
   rotted rockers with custom fabricated replacements. A I'll be posting
   periodic photos of the procedures.
