Home !!!!! Happy Easter

It's magic... Don't worry Mark. It's easy and pull and push principle. Works quite good.
Have to measure the high. Btw.. It is the deck lid I'm talking about

The Rear Deck Lid fitment/gap looks Extremely GOOD!

I see you utilized quick release deck lid pins.

I really LIKE the bumper delete look!!!

Does Germany have MOT inspection?

Is there some type of spoiler mounted to the rear deck lid?

Also did you delete the rear deck lid key?...Mark

Thanks,

Yes, we have MOT/Inspection in Germany (its called TÜV and more or less similar)and we have to shown our cars/motorcycles every 2 years. For me a Wing like 'countach & co' wasn't an option and the spoiler version of the old GT4 doesn't matches to the look, so I created my own rear lid to fill the gap in a nice and propper way.

Currently the carhasnt any manual key lock because I'm working on a invisible central look (thanks to my body shop who made a lousy job)

There are some things to do and it takes time but for me it is a positive challenge.

Hello Marc; Does TUV require a rear bumper?.

Although I am confused in the second picture of your DeTomaso Pantera by the location of the fluid cooler located directly below the pathway of HOT exhaust gases & pressed up against the rear valance body panel seemingly not allowing a flow of air "Through & over/past the cooling fins"...Mark

Hi Mark,

Bumpers are not relevant for TÜV if you are driving cars like ours. Differnt story
for latest cars ;-)

The photo didn't show the complete package. My body who ist working on Panteras for almost 20 years has desigend a diffuser which matches to the oilcooler and also seperate the airflow from the hot engine. Due to the 180° turning headers (which are cramic coated) we elimnated another source of hot air.
He is using this one on his two racing panteras with success. I'll be at Spa in Mai for the 6hours classic race and on the way (180 mls each way) there is enough time to check it. The engine has 100 mls on the speedo (after rebuild) so I have to treat it careful.

Still on my whish list are some rear diffuser for covering the Original Exhaust area and some floor mats as well (my wife wants it so I got a clear mesage). But first... enjoying the car together with my wife

So - more or less Bruce is officially road registered. Plan is to visit Spa circuit on May 24th or OGP Nürburgring in August

And another one - plate isn't fixed yet, may beneath the cooler

Just some update before Winter is coming. Last Friday at Hockenheim.... and a lot of the to do list for 2016...

that car is beautiful!!!! great wheels too!

I must have missed it but is this a true GT5-S or a conversion? Something about the front wheel arch looks different to me. Maybe I'm wrong, either way I love that car.

It is a true GT5-S. May the colour confuses a little bit and emphasize the wheel arch.

Nice one!

Got any details of those headlights? What parts you used and what material are those lenses and how they are attached?

Wow! Don't know how I missed this. Beautiful car Marc!

Was für ein Auto !

Thanks folks - glad you like it. I have to do some further modifications during the winter (nothing specific..more cosmetic) and back on the street lates in May

Like the oil cooler, very innovative, great air flow location.

Well tested at Spa, Misano, Hockenheim and Nürburgring. I had absolutely no heating issue during the heatwaves weh had this year when the temperatur climbs up close to 100 F. I was more sweating in the inside than the car.
