Madhatter Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 I can see my license just floating away when I look at those massive turbos. I love those exhaust pipes on that middle one. Somehow I don't think they'd suit my daily drive though

Madhatter Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 I just came across this page and saw that there is a Pantera PE set in here (just over 1/2 > 2/3 of the way down) that may be of use to you: http://www.acustion.com/index.html2e.html

vamach1 Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 If you went the stock route you could not find a better example than this one.
Dann Tier Posted September 23, 2019 Author Posted September 23, 2019 Hey everyone!, i'm back at this one!....i am working on SB the rear frame/suspension now.....photos coming soon!!
cobraman Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Three projects ? This is the one I am most interested in but watching all. Don't get your parts mixed up .

Technically, Ray, i'm working on five....i got sucked-in because of my absence, lol -I hope i dont get stuff mixed up, if i keep constantly kleanig-up, i will be all good!
Dann Tier Posted September 24, 2019 Author Posted September 24, 2019 Hey, everyone!, heres a new update; I have the motorized chassis pan all cut out, and now its time for some frame, and suspension work! As you can see, i left the bare minimum so that while SB the new bits, i can keep things all lined up properly as i work...
Dann Tier Posted September 25, 2019 Author Posted September 25, 2019 I've decided on an engine....a Cobra 427 TT....just gotta find two of them now....
Dann Tier Posted September 26, 2019 Author Posted September 26, 2019 Ever settle on something....tell people, then the next day have a better idea?......i did. There will be a suprise engine going into this bugger.....i had a brainstorm!!

I thought the 427 TT was cool enough, but what do you have in store for us now? Keep us posted.

I should be able to FINALLY post some updates later today!! -thanks for following!!
Dann Tier Posted October 10, 2019 Author Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Hey, everyone!, here is my next update....FINALLY!!, thanks for being patient! -Photo 1: I got a huge amount started on the rear frame work!...i need to finish the built-in roll bar, some intercooler mounts, and all the suspension bits. -Photo 3; It works really well leaving the old rear area to help keep things all lined up while i fabricate. After i attach a rear mounting point, then i will get rid of all the rest of the original stuff. -Photo 4: Here i made some really strong contact points around the interior tub...makes for a quick, no-brainer assembly. -Photo 8: I needed to cut open the pulley access panel for more realism...i need to SB a better one. -Photo 9: For anyone whose built this kit before, you know how sloppy/weak the front contact tabs are...i added better ones.

Gramps46 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 The engine cradle is pretty impressive but I'm not crazy about the color. ?
