welcome aboard. Sorry to hear about your dad.
You should find most of what you need by searching the archives. The Pantera is not a terribly difficult car to work on, it's just different. The engine is straight forward Ford. The rest is strange electrical logic or relatively simple mechanics. We are all here to help and remember...anything you need to ask is something one or more of us has had to ask. So don't hold back, there are no dumb questions.
