Pantera Transformation

davidbMember

I've received a lot of PMs from folks who hadn’t followed my life with 9203, how it finally reached the end of the road. And then how I began a new search which resulted in XXXX and the journey I'm on today.

Like many here, I’ve been collecting photos along the way so I’ll remember how to take it all apart again. It’s something I’ll be doing often I’m sure, in the years to come.

So with all the pics now in hand, here’s the past 2 years in 12 minutes. Nothing amazing, but faster than going thru the 33 pages of the build.

How have I not seen this project before??? There are quite a few things that I have been debating doing for years that you have already done, and quite well to boot. There are soooo many things I love about this.

Wow! I thought you were building a race car but how pleAsantly wrong I was. Looks like it's going to be a Supercar.

Somehow, when I use tape and cardboard to mock something, it just never comes out this good.

Fantastic build and really good production on this video also.
Congrats !

Thanks for posting the video. Amazing work and design!

I bet wiring in the Cadillac climate controls was challenging.

I can't wait to see the finished product (inside & out).

Do the tires rub at all being flush with the edge of the wheel flares? It looks like they may with some suspension compression.

The tires are not flush. In fact, they extend OUTSIDE of the flares! Amazingly they do not rub (yet). We did lots of testing before cutting steel. They rub at full lock or when turning coming off a raised curb - much like all my previous Panteras.

TBH, I haven't tried going over bumps in the road at 100 mph yet. I'll only get to this around Xmas but I don't expect any issues that can't be fixed.
