Beautiful car! I'd love to see it black on black with all chrome blacked out,:woot:

Sick man, we need to see it in action!

Glad you posted that video and welcome! Looks like you've put a lot of work into it judging by the details---looks awesome. Do you road trip it at all?

Love Panteras! Sounds nasty! :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone for all the comments. A little BIO on the Pantera: I bought it in 2005 and stripped it down and repainted it, as it was originally green, as well as got rid of the tired black interior. I'm the owner/operator of a custom paint shop, and have done EVERYTHING to this car myself. I drove it for a couple years, then embarked on phase2 of the project, which turned in to a 1 1/2 year endevour. During that time I pulled and tore dow the motor for mods and a rebuild, smoothed, painted,polished, etc, and detailed the engine bay. I hand fabricated a bunch of Carbon Fiber pieces for the engine bay and interior, such as the dash panel, u-joint grease guards, underside engine hatch panels, etc. I've got at least 100 hours in the carbon alone, but it was worth it, and believe it or not, kinda fun. I wanted a Pantera with unique pieces that couldnt be ordered out of a catalog. I painted and detailed the transaxle with contrasting matte black and gloss black, then polished parts of the unit for what I thought would be a unique look. The exhaust I fabbed myself with Magnaflow mufflers and stainless mandrell piping. The engine was assembled by myself, as well, but the machine work was done by Total Performance in Santee. I wanted the motor to be a relative monster, and without the help of Dave Storlien from Porting Dynamics in Minnesota, that wouldnt have been possible. He is a great guy, and actually was the one that designed the CHI heads that I'm running. He custom spec'd the cam for my exact combination and wants. Untold hours were spent on the phone with him, and his credentials speak for themselves. He has been a front runner in the Engine Masters competitions for a few years now. I was happy when, finally this past August, on the first dyno pull, the car put 550hp to the wheels, at around 5600rpm. This was at the onset of lifter collapse. There is still more in the motor to be had, and when I change to solid rollers, or the new comp short travel Hyd rollers, it should RPM well past 6500, and it will be interesting to see how much power it will put out then. Well, I've got a little long winded here. Below are some specs on the motor, as well as a link for a video when I was doing the bodywork. I will try to post more pics, etc....... Thanks everyone!

Very cool car. Say a good 650 Hp at the flywheel , thats pretty good for a 404ci Clevo :bow:
What do you mean He designed the Chi heads?
