Pantera parts ! (Page 62/75)
Fastfocusguy SEP 08, 12:38 AM
Thank you!

and, yes, they are the real deal !

15 X 7 in front

15 X 8 in the rear

- had them professionally sand blasted, primed, painted, and clear coated first.

- then the new tires installed and balanced.

- mounted to the car with Aircraft grade billet aluminum wheel adapters

- I have a set of four factory pantera center caps for them, but did not get them on in time for the dells run

- but, as you can see, now I need some modest fender flares to make them look Kosher !!

- see the photo that shows the inside of the front trunk, and you can see how far the stick out of the wheel wells ;0

Well, I did some welding on Ron's Pantera project. Honestly, he & FieroGuru have done some outstanding work. They need to share.

And on my way back from the airport I met yet another Fiero guy. Didn't get the contact info, though.

Other than that, I've been up to my eyeballs in the Bellanca:


Out with the old


In with the new




I could have had a V8 ???

Great, just great. It seems that we've gone from better home & gardens to american pilot without much Fiero in between (and I thought I was bad at getting sidetracked)

Cheers Beers n Gearz. Joe

And splendid demonstration of welding he did.

Eventually, there will be a build thread but, it will be when the "project" is nearer to completion. Though, I do agree, Paul, Fieroguru did an outstanding job on his part of the project.

BTW Dave, we need to talk about those strakes.

I would love to build one of these. It looks simple but I'm sure its not easy.

Well Guys,
Seems there are only so many hours in a day...The Bellanca is almost airworthy, and the kitchen renovation is begining.

None the less, the undercover roadster project is ready to begin body work. I just have to create space in the shop.

For your consideration, I'm trying to convince the owner to follow these guidelines to build a roadster



The overhead pic shows the later body style, and my molds are obviously of the earlier body styles.
But, it's the way the body was modified to create an open top that I like.
Essentially the roof portion has been removed.
What I particularly like is that the rear "strakes" are left in place.
To me they represent a large part of the Pantera design signature.
The also would lend themselves to the posability of building in a rollbar protection system.
It looks like it might be easy to fabricate a removable roof and a removable rear window if the strakes are intact.

Here are a few more close ups of the same car:
