Dann Tier Posted January 14, 2020 Author Posted January 14, 2020 A bit of a mock up here....i'm about to finish the center hump.
beeRS Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Looks good Dann. Is the hump a part of the original Pantera design, or are you having to add it because of your choice of engine?

Nells250 Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Arg... so now Panteras are being hacked up for customs? (sigh)... Can you use any of these photos? I thought I had more engine bay shots... must remember that come car-show season! ?

I had to cut out the stock(smaller) one in order to make a larger one for the V12.

I thought I had more engine bay shots... must remember that come car-show season! ? They've been customized from the beginning. Since its got a V12, i have no need for engine bay shots, and i have TONS of books, and reference photos, but thanks anyway.
Nells250 Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Gotchya! Gave me an excuse to look through my photo-files, though... sometimes I forget what is in them! :-) Good luck with the build.

Dann Tier Posted January 28, 2020 Author Posted January 28, 2020 Hey, everyone! Lately i've been working on nothing but masking, and painting TONS of parts from my many projects, in order that they are all pretty caught up to each other, and i can actually start assembling them all together, and also so that i only have to klean the model room once. I still have a day or so of painting, and i will be back to this, and all the other builds!....thanks for patiently following along!!!...God bless!!!!
Dann Tier Posted February 29, 2020 Author Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Finally back to this one as well!...test fit the interior bits inside the body, and the way i shaped the tranny access panel pushed the seats WAAAAY to far forward, so i needed to reshape. -Photo 1&2; As you can see....its HORRIBLE!...i may even need a new seat....i will chop the arch off them, and see what i think first. -Photo 3&4; You can see that i chopped it back at 45* angles, but STILL a wee bit too close...Next step will be for me to notch them out as the pencil lines denote....fingers crossed! -threes the charm, right?...i hope, lol -Photo 5; Still plenty of space for the rather narrow Lamborghini tranny.

Dann Tier Posted October 6, 2020 Author Posted October 6, 2020 Okay, Ray wanted me to get back to this bugger, so i have been....i will start having updates again VERY soon!
vamach1 Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 I have toyed with the idea of using the Shelby Series one drivetrain but have not gotten any further just thinking it may work. I sure wish any model company would save us the trouble and make a kit with the engine and drivetrain.
Pete75 Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 Don't know anything much about DeTomasos, but I can see I've been missing out! Kind of like a Lamborghini Urraco/early Countach rear-ended a Ferrari 308! ? I definitely like the front skirt/body kit - makes it even meaner!

Dann Tier Posted October 10, 2020 Author Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) I havent been feeling well lately, but i did manage to get a little more done....still working on more. -Photo 1; Finally i have a firewall that fits my custom work. I started to make the seatbelt slots as well. -Photo 2; I had to make a decision about detailing the center column that has scratches, and weak details on the right side, or sand all the detail away, and remake it....i chose to remake....heres the start. I drilled out the guages, and backed them as well. I think i will SB the shift gate -not sure...may go with an E-gear/paddle set up -maybe both like Pagani? Edited October 10, 2020 by Dann Tier
Pete75 Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 More freaky skills! Hope you feel better soon, mate?
