Khan -

Congrats! The car looks great! The interior really compliments the BRG paint. BTW - The Pantera project looks cool...perfect companion to the Cobra.

Really top-notch Khan.

I have been a follower of your build blog for some time. I have enjoyed watching your progress on the blog and tips on the Hurricane Forum over the last two years or so.

Looks Great Khan!! Wow, I've really got to get my ass in gear! I had to take some time off from mine (Basement project! and a 67 GT 500, not mine though!!). I'm so close it hurts and THEN I see this, ugh. We need to get caught up and especially on the Pantera project. Got any ZF's just laying around?? Congrats, it looks great! Keep in touch, Matt.

Hey Matt! Nice to hear from you. I have been seeing some ZF's on eBay lately. Also, Pantera Performance sells them too.

Thanks som much Fuzzy. Paint didn't come out as nice as I would have liked but it will do for next couple of years. I am sure I'll have to repaint it in the near future.

Thanks JB. Not a worry so much with the paint...the mistakes they made were stupid...like over-polishing on the radius parts of the body taking off too much paint. Rookie I bet....

Hey Khan, even when you pay big money for paint and body work it doesn't always turn out perfect. My car has some sand marks and numerous pits they missed, but now after 2.5 years on the road...it really doesn't matter. Road chips, & scrapes under the front scope are just badges of courage.
