DAVIDNUNN - Ensuring I end up with something that is properly engineered is the only safe outcome for sure. Finding that Engineer will be the 'start'.
Slightly 'off topic' and talking about a race car Pantera -- I was too late when i went searching - as it ended up being sold and shipped overseas - but there was a highly modified Pantera built here for circuit racing - " ‘La Pantera Bianca’ DeTomaso GT car built in the mid-1980s by noted Australian racing car designer Barry Lock and raced undefeated by Kevin Bartlett." - as they say - "the quick and the dead" -- I was the "dead" on that one.
And as you correctly pointed out to me - the 'NOT a complete Roadster Shop chassis' Ring Brothers Pantera suspension (HA - I HATE being wrong. HA - I also object to calling it a Pantera now it has an LS in it) somewhat piques my interest and certainly has a possibility ----- the issue I see though is that it would seem that to achieve the accuracy required for such a modification, the vehicle would need to be in the RS workshop - and that it a fair bit of a 'drive and swim' from here - HA - difficult - not imposible though. I may give them a call and inquire as to the feasibility of the components being shipped here - or - the vehicle shipped to the US and back here to AU. But I am also not 'closing my mind' to other possible solutions to the suspension modifications.
HA - other than it using 'dirty rotten Chev' spindles - does anyone see any potential isses with what has been done to the Ring Brother's vehicle suspension?
And for some reason - my typing seems to enter the 'Bermuda Triangle' when I am typing into this - I seem to make lots of mistakes (mores than me's usual clumsy typins misstakes)
