It is nice to know I am not the only one deep in a project.. Keep up the good work..


I must tell myself 10 times a day, "Just get it done JimBob. Its not going to fix itself."

Looks good! A 24 Pantera with a "Trunk".
Maybe I missed it, or maybe I forgot, is the motor on a bracket? Or are you cutting into the "trunk" to mount the motor? (I still think you need to add a second motor:sifone:

Nice Rick, i would stiffen that up a bit and make an acces pannel behind the rear seat to get in there...but i guess u tought about that anyways !!!!!!:sifone:

It is 5 layers of 1708, last layer has ribs, that I made with 1" PVC, it will all be tied into a bulhead at the front of the knees that will be cut out for access.
