Here are a few ads from a kitcar magazine that might help you with finding the wheels you want :

Real nice craftmanship! Good to see you're putting your own ideas in this buildup.

I think the top wheel would look cool...in 19" or something

yeah - LOVE the spinners but I'm partial to 16 inch myself - also love a somewhat soft but smooth ride

In that I've already got the C4 Vette Brake upgrade for the Pantero, it obviously requires larger wheels, I've already got the C4 upgrade on my 4.9 Formula running it with 16" Centerlines, which is the smallest diameter wheel I know of that you can run with the C4 upgrade, I'm very satisfied with the improved performance of these brakes. But I also like the ride achieved with a little more side wall on the tires so I doubt I'll go any larger than 17's. Thanks for the leads on the wheels, we'll post more pics as time goes. We're hoping to have a Pantero road ready by the CFOG-I Show in Osage Beach, MO this summer.

The blue car looks to be from the fourth generation, or the 1980's versions. I agree, I love that totally blended look. I believe this form is more similar to the white Predator, which you may have seen. I'm sure that one day I'll build one of these. This form can easily be atained by modifying the stock body which we now produce. Hopefully an ambitious builder will produce an example, soon. Or maybe someone will comission us to build one as a turnkey.


Just for those who have never seen the Predator here is a couple of pictures

it is a replica of a Pantera 200 or Nuvo pantera

here are some pictures of that car

There are molds made for my car, and they were for sale. I did at one time think about making and selling body kits, but I decided it would be to much trobule for what little money you could make, and I like having one of only 2 cars left. { there were 3 cars built and 1 car wrecked} Good luck with your project and I hope you do well.

Thank you ...............I take no credit for any part of the building of the car, all I did was write a check

I think we met at Wheatstock. I really didn't get much time to to visit.........I was asked to be a judge sence I didn't have my car there, and it kind of took my whole day.

Save yourself some design work time and make a mold of the wheel flares off DL10s car and voila, old beautiful nose, nice flares and we now have the 80's blue model wrapped up. DL10, you should compare car bodies in person, he's only 2 states away. Add a targa top and a 2"-3" chop and a v8 and look out!

P.s. Theres just something about those wheelwells on DL's car that just doesnt look right to the eyes, not bad but theres something.

Yep, Dave and I both spoke with you briefly before you took off to judge. Good times in Topeka, I'm sure Osage Beach will be just as much fun. Hope to see you there.

Ron: Hope they help. The magazone was an old one, so I hope the ads are still good. Man, your car would look good with the cobra wheels with spinners ....

DL - Nice cars, especially the red one . I have a question for you - check your PM ...
