Playing with CAD

...I would say that You got it 'Dead-On Perfect'!! Especially the Scale of the Engine to the Chassis/Body! If You have ever seen this same Profile in 'Road & Track' Magazine...That has been a Major Complaint with Me(I have been wanting to 'Air' Here!). That in the Magazine the Engine is shown WAY TOO Small, for 3 Pantera Models that were shown!!(That would be 'Base' Pantera, 'L' and the GTS) The Engine was Drawn..Looks Like 3/4 Actual Size! The Engine Pullys don't even 'Break' Into the Line of the Firewall. I Know because I have 3 Pages of Profiles. Take a Look for Yourself. I believe that This has been One factor contributing to the 'Misconception' that the Pantera May Not be as Powerful as Most Owners had Claimed!!...

Thank-You for Posting! Finally Someone Got IT RIGHT!! Perfect!!

Cool. And here's a crank snout spacer my brother did for me to properly located the lower timing gear on an SVO/Scat forged 351C crank in an original 351C block. Ford Motorsport stopped making these, so we had to make our own, then didn't need it after all because I purchased a beautiful RollMaster timing set designed specifically for this application.

If you ever find yourself in need of a 3D solid model to have parts manufactured either on CNN machinery here in the states, or made in China by cheap labor, visit my website at http://www.EDDS4U.com and I will give you a free quote.

Detom ... do you do 3D Mechanical Coordination ..pipe ductwork etc ?

I can. I use SolidWorks. They have an excelent sheetmetal package. It allows you to make a 3D formed sheet metal shape, then unfold it to get the flat pattern you need to cut to make it. Right now I am working on a left rear quarter panel. Once I am done with the shape I want, I will unfold it to get the flat pattern. I will then present the results to an auto restoration shop to see if they like it.
