Above: View looking through the aperture left by the removed turret. The torsion bars are bent and broken. This gives you just some idea of the huge amount of work that had to be done. Below: The Panther hull after it's first coat of paint. Compare this with the photo of the hull here. The transformation is incredible.
Greg Taylor of Reno, Nevada is the driving force behind the Panthers restoration. His other projects can be seen elsewhere on this site. We wish Jacques, Greg, Roy and all the team the very best of luck with this exciting project.
