Default Wrap

Just a thought... but if you change your hood, couldn't they scan/recreate the stripe in a decal or wrap?

LOVE your car btw!!!

I figure if I change the hood then the
stripe will be changed also... I want to change
the front nose and then maybe try to match the
paint... not sure I want to take it that far apart
and deal with a painter as I am now ready to run
the car for the season

Thanks.. love your build.. went thru it
many times

Bob

Splitter is bolted to the existing body and
spoiler bolts. Then a bunch of sheet metal screws
into the Fiberglass. Been tested to 100mph so far
Picture note the best

Did it help keep the front planted at higher speeds, Bob?

Thanks for the side shot!

Great looking Bird Bob. Love the color, stance and styling. Big fan of the splitter. Keep the pics coming.

Does the spitter work?

Front seemed pretty stable on the car
before so hard to tell. Only a blast
Down the freeway quickly to make sure it
stayed on. Working on the rear one next
which will be an extension on the TA tale
Squared off will work better but I am going to
cut it angled on the ends as it looks better

Then time to cut the fender vents
Was going to do hood vents but too
many things in the way

Thanks for the comments
Been sending things to my buddies for
a while and decided to start a thread here
Not like what some of the others have done
but fun as I can do it myself

Not as pretty of a car as my Pantera but my
favorite as I brought it back from the dead
and raced it for many years

Been fighting an electrical short for a while
and finally figured out my one wire alternator
(actually has 6 wires going to it) wires were all in
a fan formation to get them to fit would move and
loosen as the engine torqued.. bought a terminal
block.. Modified it and now have them all in a row
so hopefully no more non starting or lights out issue

New softer brake pads next then work on pinion angle,
maybe mount the new door handles but that is low on the list

I have Nitto tires Nto5's.. only thing I could get in 200 tires
my size 275/315 17's.. wondering if anyone knows where to
start with tire pressure.. was running about 30 both ends
but very few runs before.. now that I got the front to stick
hope to dial her in.. any thoughts

Bob
