Looks great! Who made the headers and is the system loud?

Thanks guys!
The engine is a 351C with the new Edelbrock Performer RPM heads and intake. The headers were made by a race car fabricator in Hagerstown,Md.They have a awesome sound.Not too loud until they have to be.(if you know what I mean)

Ron

Looks great! Gives it a no-nonsense, flat-out race car look!

Ron,

LOOKS GREAT!!! I hope to see it in person sometime soon since we're pratically neighbors. I'm going to take a couple of my cars, including the Pantera, up to Tony Conover's within the next couple months to have some winter work done - maybe we can hook up before then and terrorize some Carroll County rice burners

Bill in Ijamsville, MD!

Hoo-ly Jezus, that is bad-@$$!

I want a decible reading on that exhaust note through the full rpm range....ha

Just not to be like everyone else, I think it looks awful! Just kidding. It's actually one of the nicest 180 exhausts I've seen! Panteras were made for this kind of exotic hardware, but I can't see parting with my trunk. I use it too much!

Michael

Thanks for the compliments. I am totally happy with this system.
Bill(Plankton): A few of us will be at the Home Depot in Eldersberg,Md tomorrow evening.
If you can,you should try to come over.
Who is Tony Conover? I don't recognise the name.

Later,
Ron

Awesome job, Ron. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were practising in preparation for making a bundle of snakes for a GT40...

You guessed it!!

Very impressive, great job

Ugggggh, I just got your messagr Ron. I would have loved to meet you guys in Eldersburg last Sat. I used to take my Shelby to the Roy Rogers a few years ago.

I think I'm going to head to Mt. Airy this Sat so let me know if you're going to and we'll meet up.

As for Tony Conover, he's a Shelby restorer in Hanover, PA. He and his father have owned more Shelby's than anyone according to the SSAC registry. Tony's restored several real GT40's, Pantera's, Cobra's, Boss', Shelby's, etc. He's a great guy and really know's his stuff.

Beautiful, I especially like the Halibrand (type?) wheels, what exactly are they? Hopefully out paths will cross in the near future, I'm in MD as well..

Take care
John

John,
They are made by Team III. They are 17X11 rear with 335/35/17 Michelion Pilots and 17X8 front with 245/40/17.Michelin Pilots

The car looks tuff, two thumbs up on the wheels, they remind me of the GT40 knock offs, always liked em.

Great pictures of your car thanks for the update. Looks like you get a little track time in. I'm getting closer to buying shocks and sway bars any setup recommendations for track/street car.

Ron, BITCHEN!

Ron, your car looks great and sits right!!

SWEET!

I have Koni steel adjustable shocks and springs from Pantera Performance,7/8" rear bar,stock front bar,urethane bushings,Pantera East extended rear upper control arms and Sphereball ends for both sway bars.The brakes are Alcon from Collectors Choice.
I (up until this past year) tracked the car a few times a year at Pocono and Summit Point.
I was very pleased with the performance.(even with the 670hp dry-sump NASCAR engine I had in it for the last year and a half)
I am currently building a GT40 replica from Race Car Replicas in Detroit http://www.race-car-replicas.com/
to replace the Pantera as a track car.The SVO engine will go into this car and the Pantera will be used more for street driving.

Thanks everyone for the compliments
