added.A These are all metal GTS flares.A Perfect Autobody cut the
stock quarter, lapp-jointed in the metal flares and welded inside and

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

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,
