Hey, everyone! Had a great week of progress... -Photo 1&2; It took quite a while to remove all that bulky, brittle ground effects, and weird chin spoiler. -Photo 3; I added temporary? rear hood supports, and canopy glued that bugger down so that i can blend it into the rest of the body properly. -Photo 4; I used strips of angle styrene to make the door sill rockers. I also needed to notch them out to accept the roll bar. -Photo 5; Just a good overall view. The hoods crossmember is waaay stronger, and i smoothed out the hood, and filled in the wing holes. -Photo 6; This seam here splits the rear firewall/rear assembly from the rest of the chassis. It is temporarily tacked ito place while i do more work. -Photo 7; These axel tubes are only being used for ride height, and close tire alignment in wheel openings. -Photo 8; Seat change again!...Countach seats look better for now, lol. Starting to cut open the engine access panel in the firewall. The cover, and center column work is next. -Photo 9; Killer ride height, but as you can see, the tires need to move forward a tad to center. My rear suspension assembly will be adjustable to fix it. -Photo 10; This view of a Pantera is one of THE beastiest looks of any car ever. As you can see, i used thin strip styrene as a gap filler accross the horizontal of the hood lip?. -Photo 11; The removal of all detail leaves me a clean, pure slate to create a simplified new look that shows the very unique shape of the front of this sweet car. -Photo 12; A nice overall view again. I have also decided to open the bonnet...might as well at this point, right?
