hello to all!!

[tjltd]

hi guys!!, kind off a newbie to this site, although i've already posted some replys in the tech section, just wanted to say hi!! and that it is really great that there is a site dedicated to us panther owners, my dad got the car new back in '81 and he gave it to me in high school in '94. i do have many future projects that i would like to post and show you, but for now ill try to help with anything that i can.

p.s. excuse my english guys

hey mang, yes its great that there is a site where we can just talk about panthers! GMN Rules!!!

also, what future projects are you planning to do? and do you have more pics of you LTD?

[tjltd]

hi there

hi there!!, i have more pics but haven't downloaded them from my camera , ill try to post some off them tomorrow night. Some of the projects still waiting are:

-gtp explorer heads
-2.5" dual exhaust (currently 2.25" dual)
-full vinyl top restoration (alltough i've read that many off you don't like them )
-seat upholstery
-complete front suspension overhaul

...to list some off them, i'm kinda of a purist on the interior and exterior but on the engine is where i've done some modifications.

I've been restoring this car since about 2000 when i graduated from college, haven't had much time and money as i'd like to, but maybe that's the real joy off restoring a car that means so much to someone

Yay for someone who likes the vinyl top! Keep the premium options alive! Looks like a full top too, those are not very common.

I was considering doing a pull vinyl top in black on my car...so that will help give me a general idea.
cant wait to see mroe pics of it!

I attached another pic of my car and ill try to download from my camera tonight some more.

[Mr. Land Yacht]

great pic!

but now my neck hurts.

[tjltd]

ups!!

sorry about that, , i thinks this is much better...

.... how about a full dark tan vinyl top???,

[Rojas109]

yeah great pic!! and thanks for correcting the pic. my neck is still sore.
i say keep it as it is, or if Colin is up to it, he may photochop it so you can see it with full tan vinly top.

[Mr. Land Yacht]

tan would be ok I guess...but it will cost ya...
sure is a nice color...is that a beige? it looks like it has a slight green tint to it..

[tjltd]

actually its all green, dark green top, kinda mint green paint job (original) still don't know whats the correct name, and all green interior...

sorry for the necks guys

i've seen the black photoshop looks cool, didn't a special edition marq came with that style of top? almost like a convertible type? i'm shure i recall seen some of them, maybe a factory option? if it is i'm shure you could find the exact replica at smsautofabrics.com, they had my green cloth for the seat upolsthery
