New engine test-fire video--NO pressure!
by MikeLDrew＠aol.com 03 Sep '16

03 Sep '16

Hi guys, There's a guy named Alvin Sorensen who lives in a small village in Denmark. He bought a rustbucket project Pantera and has been working hard for years to restore it, by himself. Working with Dan Jones and Dave McLain, and with a little parts shipping help from me, he built an engine for it. When it was all ready to be test-started, he invited his neighbors over for a party. Word spread, and pretty soon he became a main news story on Denmark's #2 national TV network! (Denmark is a small country) :>) So imagine this--suddenly your very first test-fire of your engine that you mostly built yourself, is being witnessed by all your friends, family, half your village, and your entire country. NO pressure! Here's the TV broadcast (sorry, no closed captions, and my Danish is a bit rusty so I don't know what he's saying). But some things are universal…. http://www.tvmidtvest.dk/nyheder/27-08-2016/1930/renovering-af-veteranbil-bl ev-et-tillobsstykke?autoplay=1%3Fv%3D0_g3nwpiu2 Cheers!

Actually, that is the exact series of the one I own. Mine is the one that's all-yellow. It cost about $75 and is 1/32. A while back PNW had a slot-car party at the Scale Racing Center. It's right here in Tacoma. If anyone is ever coming through this area let me know and I'll take you there for a quick race!

Fwd: WTB, Jongbloed Race Wheel Parts for GT4 or GT5
by davek 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Hi Julian, Thank you for the suggestions. Not a "silly question", but yes, I did contact Jongbloed ... a couple of years ago. They do not build these wheels or parts any longer. It may be worth circling around with them again to see if the situation has changed. But with the definition of "insanity" being what it is, I thought I'd try a different route to locate the wheel parts. I do have some Diamond Racing wheels, which are similar to the Bassets, and I agree, both are good inexpensive options for track use. I know the Jongbloed's are a bit obscure, but that's partially what I like about them. And they are period-correct having been run on actual race cars "back in the day". Yes, the BBS's are certainly more readily available. I use those on my '86 IMSA Pantera ... which is coming along nicely. Engine, gearbox, brakes and other big-pieces are done ... but it's all the little stuff that's taking big amounts of time! Thank you for asking. And just to clarify, the IMSA Pantera has no connection to Long & Newman. You're probably thinking there's a connection because, I believe, Dennis Quella's tube-frame racer uses a body from L&N. But my car is completely different. Thanks again, Dave ______________________________________________ Maybe a silly question , but have you contacted Jongbloed, they still offer most of the range of racing wheels. I have seen the Basset wheels on a few wide body Pantera vintage racers , a very cheap option and look similar to the GT5 Campi's. The older BBS race rims seem more available than Jongbloed. It's great to see you get back to this car, do you have the Long & Newman tube frame car up and running? Julian Hi Julian, Thank you for the suggestions.
