Love the car even more with that wheel and tire combo but I have to ask; why the webers? If you already have the 8 stack running well it just seems like a step backwards is all.

Good question which I have asked myself a few times. The 8 stack runs sweet , no flat spots, no hesitations. But the reason is same as putting the old skool wheels on, it's the total look I am after. Also the the webers have an induction noise that I want.

That's cool. Instead of junking that old 8 stack you can just send it to me, I'll even pay shipping! That's how much of a good guy I am.

Trying to get the 40 sorted before the Pace turns up. Plenty of sagas with sticking gearboxes and slipping clutches. Hopefully mostly sorted, off to dyno mid Oct so will see what this 414 Windsor can do.

Here's a YouTube link to RF12s current state. Actually thinking of sealing the 40 for a Pantera

I said it before, that looks BADASS......... and sounds it as well. Just so much right and I see nothing to fault, I can imagine that it would be a difficult decision to sell, even for a Panterra.

Post dyno vids as well when they are done...... even just for the idle.

Dave,
A Pantera is nice enough (in isolation) but your starting point is a GT40 replica! That's one of the best looking cars on the planet!
Have you been hitting that Swan stuff a bit too hard ?

Cheers,
Glen

Fella's this car is for sale. It's on carsales.com. work finishes up for me next week and projects need to go. I will look at part trades, another car and cash. Will look at selling the car minus motor for high 80's . feel free to contact me with any ideas. Would appreciate it if you could pass it round.

Cheers
Dave

It's a beautiful car with a well executed period look about it. I hope it sells quickly for you.
