1905 Is moving again

Looking fantastic! I hope when it's all done you take a LOT of large detailed photos to share. Your attention to the details is impressive!

Thanks,

Color choices can really make a car.

looks fantastic!

I am always amazed at how much different these cars look off the jack stands down on the ground.

Comp...you do some sweet work man. Looks fantastic!!!!!

Thanks Rob,

I have a lot of things going on so progress is slow but I am quit focused and organised. It helps when I get a little time to focus on it because I generally know what I need to do next.

I get it ..... haven't touched mine in a few months now. I does pay to be organized, especially when you can have some time go by between project elements.

Looks super nice!
A great inspiration for those of us getting ready to jump in.

Like the work you've done to the car, Comp-2, but I'm not ready to tempt fate by putting white upholstery in any car I own....

I am not an upholstery person. I am doing what ever I can to get it ready for the upholstery shop trying to get everything from seat belts, roll bar, console, bubble etc finished so they have something to work from.

I started on a removable bubble to fit my configuration but finishing it is one of my next steps:

Gary, that looks stunning!

Thanks, It has been a long time coming!

Got side tracked this week on a dog house:

Beautiful work on the car. Love the wheels.

Comp: What tires are on the front? Are those Michelin TB15's. If so, what size?

Sorry I missed this post. I believe they are 26/61-15 Michelin TB5.


Got the roll bar out of the basement finally! Tired of kicking that thing around:





Time to start messing with doors, windows. I hate windows.

Looking fantastic Comp2. Really cool.
Hey, don't forget to tape the hell out of the door edges and door jams to prevent chipping.
Man..that thing looks tough!

Hey...btw...nice dog house. So, will the whole family climb in with the dog in the event of a tornado!

I'll defiantly need the tape. I spent a lot of time closing in the gaps on the door during construction.

car is looking awesome!

Here are some door shots. The door dolly has worked out well throughout the entire restoration process:





There was a lot of work rebuilding door jambs and working on the leading edges to get a good door gap. I think it worked out very well:



And because I know you were wondering, the dog is happy with her house:

Both look great! (and the dog)

I think I owe you a ride when I am done Dave.

Sounds great, I am having withdrawals.

Comp, kudos on the shut lines. They do indeed look fantastic.

Also....glad to see the pooch likes her palace.

Thanks Guys,

Dave I got a booth for my turn signal controllers at the NSRA Nationals in Louisville next week.

Gary

love the color...

Thanks Brian

Looks amazing! But some of the best parts on this cat are hidden - one of which is the smartest interior vent system ever in a Pantera!

Man I so much want to take if for a drive!....but the battery is not strapped down yet, I have not finished the front engine cover, guess I will have to keep it confined to the front yard!

I loved following your build, Gary. Incredible ideas and workmanship.
Love the colour combo.

Will

Stunning! You are getting so close.

Thanks,

I am amazed at how much different it looks then the car it started out as.

can you post a dash pic...

She really is looking great Gary. I suggest popping that windshield in before you go too far!

Can't wait to see the first on-road video.

Mark

That's the best photo I got right now:




I still need to do the door internals and a few things before I have the interior done. I am going to leave the windshield out till they get the interior done so they have more access.

I did order the Vader window motor conversion.

Couple little things. Needed to move the door latch for the roll bar:







Made my own battery hold down from aluminum:

Looks like you're getting there Comp..... Lookin good.

Thanks.

Thought there was a post about my seats. They are something aren't they. 1980's to go along with a shag van. They were the Hall seats. Interior is scheduled for May. Should be wrapped up with all the left over details by then. The windshield goes in afterwards.

Should be pretty much a complete car at that point.
