Nobbie,



I have no info on laser guns, but radar guns do not work as well on 

Panteras.  Years ago, we ran my Pantera in perfect conditions (no 

weather, no obstructions, staight line) at a driving facility in College 

Station, Texas with Texas Highway Patrol cars and hand-held units.  They 

were all unable to "lock on" a good reading until I was almost on top of 

them.  I ran at them at speeds from 45 to 125.  They did a little better 

the slower I went.



My guess is that with the engine in the rear and the radiator angled in 

the nose, the lack of a perpendicular surface makes painting the Pantera 

very difficult.



Richard
