Extensive restoration of 1971 Pantera. This car has a Hall Pantera steel body upgrade along with interior. The car needed a lot of work and was completely stripped down. Many things were altered or changed. Look for "My Classic Car" & "Pantera" video season 23 episode 6. Look for David Adlers book, "Extreme Panteras" Check out my other videos!
Electric Home Built UTV
Переглядів 2372 роки тому
Most UTV's these days are more about recreation than utility. I needed a vehicle with good hauling capacity which was low. I needed a yard truck. There were no plans for this vehicle. Spaces in the design were build while constructed for motor space, battery space, driver space, etc. The result was a vehicle perfect as designed for grounds utility. I have no preference electric or gas except; I...

64 MGB V6 Conversion and Restoration
Переглядів 53 тис.2 роки тому
1964 MGB. GM 3.4L V6 crate engine conversion. The 3.4L is based on the 2.8L engines that were in the S-10's and Camero's. The engine is a 60° V6 which allows the headers to go in the frame rails. Fantastic conversion kits are available for this which makes an easy swap. Early conversion included headers which were not as good; the conversions now have much better headers. You can find them at "...
Jack Ingram Nascar Restoration
Переглядів 5972 роки тому
Restoration of Jack Ingram Lumina NASCAR. When Jack retired, this car had a continued history as Jack being the car owner. It appears to have the Kroger paint color along with the Skoal color underneath. I bought it at the Auburn Auction from the Natmus Museum. Jack told me he sold it to a Dr or Dentist who was going to use it for track days. He donated it to the museum as a tax right off. The ...
I'm doing a similar mod on my Pantera. Could you give me the name and part number used for the linear motor for the headlight. Thanks'
It's been a while. I need to do some digging. Getting ready to head out so give me a day or so.
found it faster than I thought www.firgelliauto.com/products/tubular-linear-actuator ---12v, 40lb, 3"
Beautiful! What cost?
More than I would like but I did a lot of things to it. On the flip side, I have been driving it since 2006. It made it into a real driver.
I’m always impressed when I see this kind of skill
@@kenjordan6428 I hope it can help others see things that can be done. Thanks.
Awesome build brother , you should be well proud of what you have archived 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🇹🇭🇹🇭
Thank You!
True craftsmanship ❤
Thank You!
Beautiful
Thankyou!
This car will be sold at INDY MECUM Wednesday May 15th at no reserve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The car has been sold.
Really impressive, with little weight penalty. Who wouldn't be envious?
Wow, I just saw in my second slide it said "1852520". It should have been "18F2550".
Loved everything about this rebuild except no ac have owned a a couple of 72 and looking her shortly to buy a couple one original and one to be pro moded but want air in both but what a fabulous job you did
Thanks, I'm hot natured. I don't even use A/C in my regular cars.
Nice job! Did you change the Axle ratio while you were in the diff? What do the Toyota Regulators and SPW wipers do better? Thx
I did not change the ratio but the T5 is the V8 version with the longer gears. The old window regulators would bend and strip. They were continually problematic. These regulators have been problem free. Modern motors are better than the one's in the 60's. The SP wiper has a better motor than the originals and have a more positive movement. I put them in my Pantera as well. Thank you. Gary
Superb restoration, exceptional workmanship.
Thank You!
you are a genius and a perfectionist....applaud!
Thank You!
This is work of art! Bravo!!!!
Thank You!
In the U.S., MGB's had to have 3 windshield wipers.
All MGBs had two wipers until 1969, when it switch to three for the US only. I owned a '63.
Very nice, you know how it should look!
Thank You
Being for sale, someone ask for a start up. I put it here as well as a printout from Willy's dyno on the chassis Dyno: www.rc-tech.net/NC/ I use the accumulator to pre-oil and close valve to keep charge after start. I did not rev it as it was cold. It would have just over modulated the microphone anyway.
Lovely work, I would like to hear it purr !
I get no sound. Is there no voice-over/narration?
No, I thought I might be annoying so I just tried to get directly to the point.
I’ve got a 71’ that we’ve had since 1980. As another post put it, I’m a purist. But I’m also dying a premature death and my daughters don’t care about it. They just want to go from A to B. Might blow a bunch of money and convert it so that it’s fast enough to drive off a mountain side. I took that car to my prom!
Nice but you should of let us listen to it.
Thanks, Ill do that if I get a chance.
This is a real quality updating of one of my favorite cars. You touched all the right points as far as I'm concerned, especially when you upgraded the suspension front and rear. Thanks for sharing this build. Home garage? Where did you develop your fabrications skills at?
It is a home pole barn. I build R/C airplanes for many years but this was my first time restoring a car. You might say I developed what I did as I went along. EVERYONE is more capable than they realize some times; especially with the aid of the internet.
@@gabcwabc2491 Well sir I want to compliment you on extrapolating your modeling skills to such an excellently executed restoration/improvement of a classic sports car. You did really well here. I hope you get years of enjoyment from it.
@@cdjhyoung Thank you!
Good call on the horns. Every British sports car should have come factory equipped with the horn off a diesel locomotive.
Thanks, little cars need big horns;especially when the semi who does not see you changes lanes! :)
Excellent upgrades!
Thank You
Thanks
Thanks for posting your project. You are amazingly talented and meticulous the results confirm that. I just wish I could have a ride in it and check it out in person.
Thank You James!
@@gabcwabc2491 I am seriously considering a B GT conversion I’ve always liked MGB’s and I have done numerous custom engine installations on mostly import sports coupes, convertibles & sedans mainly for other people, seeing projects like yours (especially) has inspired me to do one last one for fun! 👍🏻
@@James-bp7vc There are a couple vendors for the 2.8l conversion. The conversion with T5 is about as simple as it gets.
@@gabcwabc2491 One more if I may, you mentioned later versions of the B have a wider tunnel, what year would that be and is it when the started producing their own V8 version? Thanks.
@@James-bp7vc I think it's 67. I am not sure. There is a website for classic conversions; Bill Guzeman. You can send him a note or one of the other vendors. They will know and happy to tell you.
Nasty!!
Thanks!
Well Done Gary!
Thank You!
love that you not only modernized to body desidn, but the technical detains are extreamlyy engineered and AWSOME 5177
Thank You!
WOW, just WOW!
Thank You
Beautiful work! Well done.
Thank You!
Well Done ! I did not know this kind of build was even possible. Impressed beyond belief.
Thank You!
Thanks for sharing, beautifull work, personaly dont like the crash bar. youll enjoy it many years .....
is this the same gm 3.4 they put into the various w-body cars from the 1990s like the oldsmobile cutlass?
It was a 60° crate engine which was based on the 2.8l V6 in the Camero's and S-10's. It's a very common engine. Simple conversion kits are available by a couple of vendors. I could not tell you if there is a relationship with the Cutlass engine.
I got my belly pan put on now: www.rc-tech.net/carsx/Panttransam/Bp/BP.jpg
Very impressive. You have some amazing skills and the vision to match. Awesome results!
Thank you so much 😀
First Dibs!
Incredible Gary!!
Thank you!
Lovely, tastefully done, job.
Thank You
Very nice. Fly windows? We call them 'quarter lights' in MG land (UK)
A pity the Buick 3.8 V6 did not fit, it was a better engine in its last production run in Australia as the EcoTec.
The 60° V6 lets the headers fit in the frame rails without putting the exhaust through the fenders.
Nice conversion JC NZ
Awesome!
Has to be one of the finest examples of a modified MGB ever. Excellent work.
Фантастика! 👍👍👍👍👍сколько труда. 👍
Fantastic restomod. Excellent body and paint restoration and your custom fabrications solve many troublesome original quirks. However, as i was often forced to point out to my teenagers over the years - just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. The engine upgrade is understandable - the original four even in the 60's could have benefitted from some more power but in my day of owning a B (it was a 1963) I saw far too many wrecked mgb's and similar cars (TR4's, Datsun 1600's, etc.) all because of swapping the original power plants for small block V8's. (A hot 340 in a MG Midget was perhaps the epitome of this) Invariably, the wrecked cars had massive tree or utility pole shaped dents in the front end. The cars' original neutral handling being turned into massive understeer by the extra weight in the front and too much horsepower. You have magnified the imbalance by swapping the leaf spring suspension for a lighter coil over set up as well. This car will be a fun performer with lots of reliable horsepower but I would be very wary in the cornering department. Perhaps rather than the v6, just modernizing the original 4 with some performance upgrades would have given you a more balanced machine.
The car lost 15lbs with the engine change.
@@gabcwabc2491 Wow, Fast reply! Appreciate it. Do you mean the v6 is lighter than the original i4 by 15 pounds or that the whole car is 15 pounds lighter? The problem I saw with the small block swaps was the change of center of balance between front and rear with weight moving forward.
Yes, the engine swap is about 15lbs less.
BTW, the 60° V6 is used because the headers fit inside the fender rails. If you use a newer MGB their is very little modification needed to the engine bay, just a little clearance on a shelf corner for the driver side header.
@@gabcwabc2491 Well there you go...good old cast iron versus aluminum. Of course the small block v8s were all iron engines so quite a difference there. I guess I'm dating myself. Great work nonetheless. My current project is a 1953 Willys Overland (Jeep) pickup truck...I guess my sportscar days are over but my '63 B was my first car so it still has a special place in my heart.
We need to confront these authoritarian idiots, just vote in pro petrol GOV’s. 🇬🇧
my first car was a 1964 MGB. I loved that car. Engine was bullet proof. Electrical system- well, best not talk about that. Great Video. Thanks.
Always remember, the Brits like their beer warm because they own Lucas refrigerators.
Lovely job
Thank you! Cheers!
@@gabcwabc2491 I crossed the USA from NY to Seattle in my '65 MGB in 1969, trip of a lifetime. I hankerted for more power, so swapped it for a Sunbeam Tiger.
Great work. Surprised you didn’t strengthen the body in the sill (rocker) area below the doors.
Very well done!!! Beautiful work.
Thank You!
