Default 72 Pantera- I think this qualifies as pro-touring?

72 Pantera- 408cid bored and stroked Windsor SBF making roughly 600hp, adjustable coilovers at all four corners, 6 piston Wilwood brakes, full carbon fiber dash and console and a little shiny stuff all over for good measure. Car is brand new.. 3 year build where it was taken to bare metal shell and started over. All suspension upgraded and chromed every piece front and rear. Custom Stainless Steel headers and exhuast. Several little body mods and smoothing everywhere. Also had to drop the floor pans to give more me headroom as I am tall.

The car is simply beautiful. I remember from the TV shows on the Corvette build you are a little on the tall side. How do you fit in the Pantera? My dad had one years ago and I remember them being a little tight inside.

Jeff- I am 6'6" so it took some work to get me to fit. First the floors are dropped around 2" and then the seat mounted very flat to the floor and very thin cushioning on the bottom of the seat. Still a little tight but seems to get comfortable after a few minutes behind the wheel. The sacrifices we make to drive cars that are cool!!
