[TPR] TPR WHEELS UPDATE - was RE: New Front spoiler and wheels for 2021

[DENNIS ANTENUCCI]

Good Morning Team

Here is an update on those wheels. One of our members has ordered them and they should be arriving in about 6 weeks.  Soon as he inspects, fits the wheels and adds tires for the final install he will advise. For now I am also asking the manufacturer for total cost to include freight and customs and see if they will offer a group discount, etc.

So stay tuned. And we should have another update in June.

Subject: New Front spoiler and wheels for 2021

Wotz up my peeps!

For this year ORR events I was looking for a front spoiler to replace the big air dam I bolted on the Pantera for 20+ Years which was too damn low for the street and its not called a cow catcher for nothing....yea it was ugly too. 😂

The air damn worked great at high speed but I also could not run it on the street with out chewing up the bottom and it dropped top end speed as well at ORR’s. Add in the usual challenging roads and the environment everywhere and the spoiler just made more sense for the future.

Larry Stock (Pantera Parts Connecrion) still has several fiberglass spoilers and air damns available for sale too and btw Larry is the last of the Pantera vendors still making these as well as the other hood, body  and rear deck lids.

Much as I love larry and how he has supported us in the past thru thew years I decided I wanted something different...something more stylish (like me) 😉 that followed the lines, had canards and followed the body lines closer and I looked at Randy Grubbs aluminum front spoiler which he fabricated as well as his rear deck lid and decided this was the way I wanted to go.

We have it mocked up and bolted in and after a final fit and finish and paint. It will go back on the Pantera. 

I think most of you already know Randy is the consummate designer, fabricator and builder.../he does it all and is currently restoring a McClaren race car. Look him up on google. Its pretty amazing story.

Randy alao has the jig and tooling at home in Grants Pasa Oregon and he can build and sell  these for $1500.  A piece so get the word out.

So  you complete fit and finish  with a pair of tinsnips and fitting it and bolting it on is pretty easy. We put  mine on And had it fitted and bolted on after adjusting both sides and bottom in a couple hours.

I honestly think he is selling these things CHEAP but as he said to me today he isnt trying to make profit as much  as he just enjoys seeing his work on other Pantera’s and race cars
if you want something different in aluminum Randy is the man. Hell I am not sure I even want to paint the thing. LOL
