The car is pretty much done, I just need to add the beauty covers behind the rear windows (removed on my car-makes installing easier) and I'm now back to square one.
I'll just pretend this last month or so never happened, I JUST got the car off the trailer, it runs sweet, I'm off to drive and enjoy my new ride!
Insurance kicks in tomorrow, so I'll be able to drive her around seriously tomorrow. I may cheat a little today and put her through another heat cycle, just to be 100% sure the coolant system got filled fully (but I'm pretty sure it's all good, so far everything is doing just what it's supposed to).

To get that enthusiasm going again, Mike, Roger was driving and I was in the passenger seat in heavy traffic on the Laguna Seca access road, during one MOnterey Historics meet. A rent-a-cop stepped out in front of us and held us up for a "dignitary" in a Rolls-Royce.
Roger mumbled something obscene, but as the Roller pulled up next to my open window, it was Jay Leno driving! He stopped and leaned out to look at the white Pantera, and said, "Man, that thing sounds bitchin'! Webers?"
I replied back, "Naw, big-ass EFI and a cam, Jay"
He gave us a thumbs-up as he idled on by. Roger turned to me with a big smile and said, 'How 'bout that! Jay Leno likes my car!"
This was several years before Jay bought his own Pantera (black, also out of Nor-Cal). If you ever see him at Monterey, remind him it still sounds bitchin'!
