So, I have moved back into my garage shop after some aditudinal differences. We are all still friends, but now I only have to please customers. Anyway, I just swapped a trany (stock 3 speed) into this 53, s10 5 speed may be later.
Just took this Pantera back. Did some fuel line re routing, installed some fans, a carb spacer and various other small repairs. 351C and ZF transaxle. This is what happens when rednecks and I talians get together. We call it the Redneck Ferrarri. Fun to drive but uncomfortable as can be. You cannot look cool getting in or out of tis car.
Ok, I like the color on the '51 even better!!!! Were either of these AD trucks products of your shop, Russ? Damon
I have done a lot of work on the red one. We installed engine, radiator, rear end, lots of sorting out, driver's door glass. It just needs a wiring harness, but he won't pop for it.
Note to builders/owners......it is o.k. to use more than one color of wire throughout your project. Just because you have 3 rolls of neon green wire doesn't mean it is the only color you should use. And.....NO WIRE NUTS IN A VEHICLE! They will eventually fall off due to vibration.
