For Pantera safety, Personally speaking, I don’t see where a single Roll Bar will add much to what’s already built into the original Pantera design. A roll cage will reinforce those rather weak windshield pillars greatly. That firewall shear panel coupled with the B Pillars and the Targa top hoop structure makes that middle of the car exceptionally strong. The Next greatest weakness in a Pantera is reinforcing the doors for the side impact. Again, a Cage can be fashioned with side bars to reinforce the doors, so you can add another level of safety protection again with a cage.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=xmsonormal>Larry<o:p></o:p></p><p class=xmsonormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=xmsonormal> <o:p></o:p></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=xmsonormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>From: </span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>TPR <tpr-bounces@teampanteraracing.com> on behalf of DENNIS ANTENUCCI via TPR <tpr@teampanteraracing.com><br><b>Reply-To: </b>DENNIS ANTENUCCI <teampantera@yahoo.com><br><b>Date: </b>Tuesday, January 10, 2023 at 8:46 AM<br><b>To: </b>Larry Stock <larrys@panteraparts.com><br><b>Cc: </b>Team Racing <tpr@teampanteraracing.com><br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [TPR] Fwd: SSCC 2023 Rule book changes</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=xmsonormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=xmsonormal>Great info on Pantera ….I do recall reading something about the B piller protection on the Pantera. <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=xmsonormal> <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=xmsonormal>Thanks for the reminder.
