Nelson Racing Engines building Pantera

Another shot

Another ....

Last one ..The engine

The chassis looks too big to fit inside the stock pantera dementions. I bet it gets taller and fatter.

They have cut out all the squere inner panels from this 9000 series body?
what are they planned whit those left over panels?
I am interested.

Wow...first Ring Bros, than Foose, Now NRE, it's cool to see the Pantera getting so much attention from the custom builders. Who is next?

Here's a link to some additional build pics!!!

To say I am jealous is an understatement.

This is the kind of stuff that gets our cars recognized and appreciated....

And I like it when they "try" and stay true to the original design, like the Foose Pantera....

Although I wouldn't reject either of the other ones....

Thank you for the link! I get a lot of inspiration from these builds for my project even though they are in a whole different league.

the engine,transaxle and frame are impressive, BUT them using that FARO is IMPRESSIVE (beats the h out of string and tape measure)

Awesome!

A work of art, a shame it all gets hidden, nobody would know seeing it driving down the street.

My first impression was it looked a little high in ride height in the photos with the body on the chassis and wheels.

Is this the black Group 4 car that was for sale for some time a couple years back that they cut up? Wonder if they realize what the late model (9000 series) Pantera's are fetching now. Sad to see in some ways when there's a lot more suitable project Pantera's out there to rescue IMO.

What kind of transaxle is that? Doesn't LOOK like a ZF...

the transaxle looks like this

The transaxle they're using is a Mendeola 6
speed sequential shift.

That is some great work. Thanks for posting the pictures and the link.

Holy .......

This is a real heavy Build.

I cout realy use what they cut out of this 9000 serie for my rusty project 9053.
It will save me a lot of hours with cutting, bending and welding new parts.
