Mike,
Thanks for the sources. We have a pretty good body guy who works miracles
on our race cars. He said he can handle it. So, we will be doing as you
and Julian suggest....fix it.
I wasn't banned because I was parked and the guy hit me with a yellow flag
waiving, after 15 cars cleared me. They had it all on video and
complimented me on not coming back across the track and hitting
anyone....which would have been my fault. The spun was my fault, but the
hit was his. I regret my mistake for sure. But, no issues at all re
banning, thankfully.

Iam surprised they didnat ban you? The vintage race organizations Iam
familiar with have a strict 13-month ban after any avoidable contact.A
Having said that, the answer to your replacement parts query must be
anoa.A
The global supply of Pantera body parts is critically low and together
we MUST preserve them for people who really need them. Sadly, some
bonehead in a Toyota SUV A will make a left turn in front of a Pantera
some day, and that car will get comprehensively smashed. That guy will
NEED the parts you are asking about, so it would be shameful to prevent
that car from living again if your issues could be sorted out by a
talented body man committed to straightening your wrinkled panels.A
For sure it will be much less expensive to repair your panels, given
the necessarily prohibitive cost of procuring such rare replacements,
so that should be an incentive too.A
If you want a reference, there is a body shop in Ukiah, Northern
California (on your way home?) that has started specializing in just
those sorts of repairs to Panteras.A The owner is a club member named
Joe Golden who bought three Panteras in the last few months Including
#1992, the green a71 that had been wrecked on both ends.A

That car is now. perfectly straight and heading to paint with NO
replacement panels needed. A
They have the SKEELS you need and are looking to make a name for
themselves in the Pantera community.A They have invested in
fabricating chassis jigs etc to ensure the car is completely straight
when they are done with it.A
