I for one agree with Mike on his assessment of flush mounted windshield on
a Pantera...
Of course, with the wide variety of what folks think are "tasteful"
modifications to the original design, you see all manner of changes that in
many cases detract from the design of this '70s classic. But TEHO.

Mike,
Flush mounted windshields are the top thing that future owners will
be forced to rectify. I think they are incredibly stupid on an old
car that continues to have chrome trim (or black) around the
doors.A Itas like walking around wearing a shirt but no pants. It
just looks dumb.
Flush mounted glass is fine on a modern car. If you want a modern
car, buy a Ferrari 360 or somethingathey basically go for Pantera
money these days.
We are driving CLASSIC cars and classic cars came with windshield
trim. Itas just the right thing.A
Hey, you asked! :)
