SPEEDZONE PANTERA #6399

Looks great, sounds great...congratulations!

Like the CF u-joint covers.

Got some better photos of the headers? Form looks different?

P.S. - Nice tail lights..

Very nice! I was waiting for it to rip down the street, maybe later?

Yeah, I guess the gas tank is up front then?

Great looking all round and particularly nice engine bay, well done.

Thanks guys. Was just testing out my new camera with an impromptu video of my car. I'll make another one on a nicer day with better angles and a cleaner view of the interior. Phase2 was a 1 1/2 year project, which consisted of building the motor, smoothing, painting, and detailing the engine bay, making all the carbon fiber for the interior and engine bay, removing the undercoating from the wheelwells and cleaning/painting the suspension parts,fabbing the exhaust, etc. And yes, the fuel tank is in the front, which allows for the custom headers. I'll get better pics of those, or dig up some "in proccess" pics. BTW, the CHI heads are great. 11.5:1 compression and runs great on pump gas.

Speedzone, finally I saw someone besides myself having the oil line from the block above the oil filter to the oil gauge hole in the back. I've had it for some time on my Pantera, w/o any problems. However I had it on my Longchamp as well, and when a lifter collapsed, I thought, well maybe this isn't such a good idea, it does remove some oil pressure from the valvetrain, right?

Any views?

Right now I'm in the take-no-chances mood, I've removed it on both cars...

Beautiful Pantera. It looks like you're ready to Rock'N'Roll!

Sweet car! What did you use to fasten the stainless pieces on the underside of the rear deck?
Will

4NHOTROD, Thanks. Those are Carbon Fiber panels that I made for the underside of the deck. I used 3M's Fast bond rigid urethane to fasten them.

I gotta go pack myself in ice now. It's a good thing you didn't patch out screaming down the street or make a pass. I'd definitely pass out. Thanks.

6399 back in the day...

6399 during original bumper mods...

Sounds just osowicked!!! Did you fab the magnaflows yourself??

Great video! Let s see her go - and send more pics of your carbon fibre work.

Dtomaso1-- are you a former owner of this car? I cant view the pics you posted. Can you repost or e-mail them to me?

OSOFAST. Thank you! Yes, I fabbed the exhaust myself......

Ok, can see the pics now. I have seen those before, and from little visual clues, I thought it might be my car.......

This is when I stripped it down back in 05.

I have had the external oil line on my Pantera for about 20 years now. I have put over 50k miles on that engine and have never had a problem. Can't say for sure if the oil line helped or not.

Speedzone, please post specs on your wheel and tire combination with the brembo big brake kit!

Love it! Really offsets the aggressive stance!

Please let me know which vendor(s) you used for the wheels and brakes as well...thanks!!!

I would like to see the specifics on that cam if you wouldn't mind me running it too?
Kind of sounds like a marching band. Ba-da-ba-ba-boom-boom, ba-da-ba-ba-boom-boom!
Careful now. You are leading all us lambs to slaughter?
