What a journey 😳
The best thing about a Pantera is that it's never really finished.

I like the rockers a lot better than the clunky prototype you designed earlier. It looks great Dave.!
Wow! I was wondering where you were at on the project! Looks good! DD would be impressed, methinks!
Rocky
Thanks guys!
Yeah, Bill, the car always looked great from a 3/4 view but that side view was killing me. Way too clunky. And the new rear face matches the great front of the car. Plus the new white look (a tribute my old 9203) is lot more sophisticated than the hard core matte look of the last version.

David,
I see your new dashboard and center console arrangement has been designed without an OEM style gauge console. This is exactly how Ferrari has arranged their V8 car's dashboards since the 1970's. Is it a lot more comfortable, having more space for your right knee?
Looks great! Such a change from the satin black at my place.
Yeah, it sure is nice not bashing my right knee into that anymore. I have a Dakota Digital dash that displays everything in one central place. I also added number of additional sensors. Even TPMS and 02.
This unit folds down and holds a screen which displays full 360 surround view. Helpful since there's no rear view 🙄

David,
You should use a rear view camera. It's just a back-up camera that only shows the guide lines when you're in reverse. Otherwise, it just looks like a normal rear view mirror. This is what the Superlite SLC guys all seem to use.
Great suggestion. I'm looking into it now. My current 360 Birds Eye surround system lets me switch from front to side to rear view only. But it had no distance indicator. So I added an additional rear view camera with indicators on a separate switch. But this seems a lot simpler and might free up a lot of space inside the dash for other things. Also, recording front and rear, even while the car is parked, could be very useful. Thanks David!
Hey Jan! Looks like you're enjoying retirement! I sure miss your beautiful collection. Do you still have Does, Wickd and 99?
