Hello all. Been slowly working on the 24-7.
I have the bottom almost wet sanded to 1500. Another day and I'll be ready to start buffing the gel.
Once I get the bottom gel all buffed out, I'll put it back on the trailer and start mocking up the engine compartment.

I have the carb at cfm performance getting the full treatment and the brodix heads are ported and going for a valve job this week. After the valve job, off to be flow tested so I can have some numbers for bob madera for a cam grind.

Also, been toying with the dash console as far as gauge layout goes.

Just thougt id post an update for those who may be interested.

Have a good day all,

Rob

Started laying out the dash. I just got all my autometer marine gauges and angled bezels in the mail. Nice stuff!

I'll have:
GPS speedo
Tach
Fuel level
Fuel psi
Voltmeter
Oil psi
Oil temp
Water psi
Water temp
Trim
Vacuum

Also, bought the rest of the hardin external steering system (all the inside stuff)

And lastly, bought a nice pair of lightning headers with dry tails last week.

Some pics:

Patiently waiting for warmer weather so I can get the hull in color.

Nice work!! isn't laying out gauges on 24/7's a PITA! I'm doing new panels on mine right now. I didn't realize how small the dash panels are until I added a small GPS.

I agree. Not much real estate on these consoles.

Here's an updated pic. Got all the gauge holes drilled and the gauges mocked up:

NICE!! I will have some pics of mine soon, they are basically done but my bezels are back ordered from CP performance. I hope I get my order next week so I can finish the panels.

Vintage, your Pantera is coming along really nicely!!!

I am currently designing my interior and am wondering what width you used for the pleats on your seats.
Thanks.

Thanks man.

The pleats are a tad more narrow than 2 inches. Pretty sure they cut 2 inch strips and sowed them together.
