Still better than East Coast cars, but yeah...not what we picture. Hope you will do a build thread on that Pantera.

I think anyone who is putting serious money into a project needs to go back start from nothing and have it blasted. Starting from square one is the only way to ensure you get a final product that you deserve after putting in all the work and money. It's frustrating as hell, but I'm sure it will be worth it in the end.

The car needed paint. Eight footer kinda thing. I was going to wait, but...projects snowball. Oddly I told myself I would never take one down to bare metal, but as you stated, it's the only way to know for sure. Jeff, Jim, Jody, Greg Weld, Seig, Steve Rupp and a few others where here at the house during SEMA 2014 and they all looked over the car. All experts on these cars and none of them saw any signs. Well other than what looked like a few paint bubbles on the roof. I think I would have been more surprised if it didn't need at least one panel.
