Some new pics ! I picked the rockers and hood up from the painters! The color is Windveil Blue from the '06 Ford Mustang.
It will have white sill stripes and black BRM wheels.

Ron, looks like you squeezed it in with the Drysump, the headers look like they will be tight. The car is looking looking good!

For a litle cheaper source of the driving lights, look at the 2006 Dodge Ram driving lights. They are just below the regular light in the bumper.

Wow Ron,

Looking good. How long until you figure it'll be moving under its own power (not counting bodywork stuff... just a mobile chassis)?

Keep up the good work and keep posting the pics!

I ended up finding some Marschal driving lights and buckets on ebay, will see how they look when they arrive. Hopefully they will work, will get some pic when they arrive.

Sorry for the thread diversion

Thanks for the replys guys.
Bill: I already have the driving lights.Thanks for the input though. I should have asked before.You could have saved me some $$.

Chris,
I don't have a time table set.I am starting the headers this weekend (I hope) And tonight I will fit the side windows.
I would like to have the car painted,chassis powdercoated and back together before Carlisle in May.
Then I will reinstall the driveline wire and plumb the car as well as many detail peices.
I would like to have it running,not completed,by the end of the summer!
I have several events planned for the Pantera though so progress might slow a bit.
Later,

Hi Ron,
Your slave cylinder execution is exactly what I was planning. Whose cylinder did you use? Did you make your bracket?

The project appears to be moving along very nicely. Kudos... lookin great!

 

[Ron McCall]

Rob,
The slave is a "long throw" replacement for a DeTomaso Pantera.The bracket was made by Dennis Quella at Pantera Performance.

Ron

Are you going to display at Fran's Carlisle spot in May?

MikeD

 

[Ron McCall]

Mike,
Fran and I actually spoke about that today.If I get enough done on it I will be glad to display it .It definately won't be done but it should be pretty far along.

Later,

Ron-
Your progress is amazing and impressive. The car is really looking fantastic.
