Soooo, you're sayin you don't like the green. I was thinking there was probably a reason that there are very, very few green panteras.

Nah, you only missed a couple days worth. Posted them all up over the weekend. Thought I'd join the crowd.

Chris,
There is a PCNC owner with an original forest green (or whatever De Tomaso called it) and believe it or not, I have always liked how that car looks with that color.
The faded, lime green color seen on some....now, that's another story.

Wow! I dunno man, that car is pretty awesome. Hats off to that guy. I would have maybe gone with black wheels instead of the gold ones. I understand the factory wheels were gold, but if you're gonna go lime green... Glad to see someone had the balls to do it. Heh
Chris,
Awesome job! I was reading those posts and by page three I was saying to myself "man, if he puts Group4 fenders on that car, I'm gonna have to go down there and take it from him". It is getting pretty close to being my perfect alter-ego Super-Pantera.
As far as color choice goes, the orange does look pretty hot, but for a car that REALLY stands apart, the lime would be awesome as well (and unique). Just so you can get an idea of what direction might work, here are a few options. Personally, I would seriously consider Lambo lime.
Great work and posts. Thanks!
Mark

Yeah I am still sold on Lambo pearl lime or pearl orange too. Our cars need to stand out, they just are not loud enough to get attention!
Here is a photo of that orange car I was talking about, I believe somewhere here in southern CA I believe it was on rides domain or somethikng like that with a few more photos.

Yup, I was looking at his web site last night. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2477051 He's got a lot of pictures of it up there. It's finished now and he's been to a bunch of shows. Awesome car.
The Eclipse color that I'm looking at is more red than that. It's different enough from his that I'll be able to sleep at night.

Holy smokes, you've got a nice collection of cars Mark! Just looked at your website. One day... one day I'll have a Mangusta and a GT40 too.
Wow! The car is looking Great! Thanks for sharing all the photos. It is always great to see all the ideas and ways they are being used on the Pantera. Looking forward to seeing it with the new paint.
BTW, anyone know where people are getting those side Detom emblems, like the one on the orange car above? Almost looks like a vinyl sticker.
Chris, maybe when you're finished we can work out a trade.
The emblem on the orange car doesn't look like a sticker close-up, but I have no idea where it came from. I know that some guys (David B on his GT5) have used the front grille emblem on the fenders and it looks great. Smaller, but better proportioned than the one on the orange car, IMHO.

Neat! Those front emblems must have come on the later cars. My '72 has the big ol branding iron one.
