Hey Mick, your car looks great, what is the little switch next to the gauge panel?

Looks like a power mirror remote switch.

Nicely Done!

Beautiful car Mick. Great craftsmanship, you have every right to be proud of your baby. I love blue. The blacked out window trim really sets off the dark blue color.

I'm going to move your photo gallery to the photo gallery section, I hope this doesn't cause any confusion.

I know some of you think that that may be crazy, but take a look for yourself and I didn't spend 7 to 10 grand to get this kind of paint job. I've been throught the whole car rebuilding everthing including the trans. Hope you enjoy and Thank for the interest

Very nice, I'm sure you're proud. Nice Q-Code '69 car as well.

Congrats.

Thanks guys for the comments. It was a labor of love. I've been dreaming of owning a Pantera since I was 15 and 22 years later I finally have one the way I want it. That switch is for the remote mirrors. I installed those mirrors from a donor 94 mustang. Took very little work and I think they compliment the car nicely. Everything I did to the car can be removed to give the car the stock appearance back...except for the color. George... Thanks for moving the thread. I'm still trying to figure out how to do things on this web site.

micks74, for only having 6 post, your doing allright, the car looks awesome, you figured out how to post a album, you have what looks like a garage full of "bitchen" (copy righted from George "the Den Leader" of PIBB) "hot-rods".

ps I like the switch and console cover. I'd like to talk to you direct about mounting the carbon-fiber cluster face. Mine is in the box, waiting for install.

Excellent job Mick.What upgrades did you do to your engine?Nice Mach 1 also.

Thanks Mark... there was really nothing to the install, just time. when you are ready give me a yell @ 678-860-2182

And Thanks jwr2968... The engine is .030 over. I had bought a set of used SVO C3 heads, installed Ferrea SS valves with silicone valve springs.and fly cut the heads .020. The cam is an over the counter solid roller from Crower. They had the mildest cam without special ordering. The intake is a Eldebrock performer with the ports welded up and port matched to fit the raised ports on the heads.(keeps everything under the screen) SS Compcams rockers and all the ARP bolts that I could install in the engine. The engine yields 10.4 CR and an estimated 400 horses. Runs low 12 in the 1/4.Also, 10qt.oilpan to keep plenty of oil supplied. I've been wanting to see what the HP is on a dyno. Just waiting for the chance.

Very nicly done. I have never painted a blue car that did not come out beutiful. Congradulations, it took me an extra 10 years to get mine, from MY 15 year old dream. Welcome ti the PIBB.

Mick,

Did you dot he carpet on the trunk linner your selff? I would like to see some pointers on getting it in/on and trimmed nice.

Car looks good!

Hey Gary... Thanks for the comments. That was a job I left for the interior guy. He did a great job and I think it was a $100. Well worth the money!

Mick-

That is one hott looking car. What color 'blue' did you use? ..it is definitely a stand-out color. Nice job all the way around!

Whow Mick! Low 12's in the 1/4.Thats kicking ass.

Very Nice!! Good Color.
