[DeTomaso] Jr. Wilson Pantera wing

I have a vague recollection that Jim Hall got so much down force from at least one wing design that he had to direct the force to the unsprung elements of the rear suspension.  I don't recall where I read that, but I think it was really serious down force.

  to add much downforce so it works for my car.... I have run 166 mph
  with no adverse effects but I do have an extender on my gts spoiler to
  help keep my front end down
  I have run with and without the wing on the track and see no difference
  As Mike Drew has stated it is just a fancy coffee bar:)
  I told him that wing has brought a lot of Pantera awareness to the
  rest of the world.. they all know it is a Pantera with a big ass wing

  I'd be a little careful about a wing behind the rear axels, the down
  force there would reduce the weight on the front wheels.  Maybe you
  can't get enough down force from this type of wing to create a problem,
  but with a 200 MPH plus car, I'd want to be sure.
  You might want to talk to Goran ( [1]http://www.hemipanter.se/)  I
  wouldn't be surprised if he has done some analysis on wings for
  Panteras.

    The supports.. that was my design... Jr Wilson is still in Monterey
    last I heard... not sure if he has any thing on the wing.. my guess

    Hi
    I'm the current owner of a Jr. Wilson Pantera and I'm thinking of
    rebuilding the "crazy" wing he used when running the Silver State
    Classic.
    Anyone that have any more pictures that could help me recreating it?
