Wayne's GT5-S rebuild

kirkevanskirkevansAmeriSport GT5-S builder Pantera Parts Vendor
Hi all,

I am finishing one of the most difficult Pantera projects ever but now that it is all most finished, well worth the effort. Thanks to this car, there will be several new parts available to everyone including the new trunk compartment insert. The best way to describe this build is it started out as simple list of fixes and details---in house terms call is a "to do list" on and turned into a "move that bus" O-MY-G Extreme Makeover. I'll take you through the process soon. Here's an item that went into the build. Hope you like it.

Here's a shot of the engine's new emission control air box. I'll post some of the design renderings later on.

I work alone and will be on Howard's car one week after Wayne's car leaves next Monday-Tuesday with a re-start date November 9-10.

Thanks Peter---I do have many pictures---one of the e-break drag fix that you may be able to use. Your wing came out great---FYI

Another view of the assembled raw air box. The front has additional caution lights and full sweep mechanical gauges with custom faces matching the dash set. This additional front gauge section is removable for better engine access and can be viewed up to 5 feet away from the original mounting position.

You can see the gauges through the back window. The important issue is they are mechanical gauges including fuel pressure and vacuum to help with diagnostic issues. There is 14 pounds difference between the full sweep back-up oil and electric oil pressure gauges.

The lights are for

BLUE--water temp at 210--watch the gauge RED--oil at 0 to 10 psi--shut it off
GREEN--power to the distributor--key is on

Hope this helps.
