72 PANTERA

I figured if I was going to do a Dynacorn body car it would be a 68 Bullitt clone....but with a 347 stroker plus would have to respond like a newer car also.

LOL! Mighty tasty lookin red meat you had there! As for Pantera's, my brother had a 74... it's where I got my first taste for performance, and 351C! Been trying for 30 years to get something similar of my own! Maybe in another 10!

Welcome back, glad you were back to take care of the homefront for Irene. You guys getting back to normal up there?

Some of the best steaks I had in a long time!! & compared to here, half the price !! Thanks for the welcome back! All is good here almost back to normal ! I wouldn't be so quick to buy a pantera unless it was a super duper deal ! Parts (for the car not motor) are hard to come by & everything cost an arm & a leg. Timeless styling though !!

Very nice Scott!!! I'd love to go with those kind of setups....they have so many choices for the 67-68 makes me sigh and wish they would hurry it up some so we would have more for our cars.

I'm willing to wait on that dollar. Building it wether it's the motor or the trash is what makes us what we are. Some say CRAZY, but not after they experience it and see what it took and what it can do! I remember when WATTS became more fashionable than horsepower. Now that same group is asking for advice from us because they missed out. Told my son when I got the Mach someone was going to have to drive the 73 Chevelle at the strip when we find out which is better. 73 Mach 1 351 4 speed vs. 73 Chevelle 454 automatic that I built with my own hands. My 29 year old paid for the paint job and basically has declared ownership of the Chevelle and helps me every time he comes home and asks some very good HP questions. He want's that race bad now and has the bug. How cool is that!!

How TRUE !!!!!! After over 25 years of doing this stuff (for a living professional ) I keep coming back for more ! I can't shake it no matter how many times I say I'm done this is the last one !!!! But I am done with rust as I said i will never build a rusted car FOR MYSELF AGAIN!!!!
