Reply to "Video Blog - Pantera #3075 motor rebuild"

Subscribed as well. I'm in the last week (I hope) of a 3.5 year upgrading of my red 1972 Pantera, so it's great to see what someone else has done. I simply was never driving my car any longer, because it involved too much planning just to get in and drive it. It couldn't be over 80F, I'd have to take the air cleaner off to dump fuel into the carb to get it started, and various other maladies that made me not want to bother when I could hop into my 600hp Jag XKR, not worry about any of those problems, and just enjoy myself. So my "journey" was originally just going to be to swap out fuel injection for the carb, but that turned into a new built 351C, new seats, a complete leather interior including the dash, seats, console, firewall, door panels, seat belt harnesses, etc., new high volume fans (already had the Fluidyne radiator), new flush glass windshield, a complete respray (even though it really didn't need it), headers and exhaust system, and now the little bits of the interior pieces are the last things holding it up for a few more days. I look forward to seeing your build, and I'll post some of my pictures after I get mine back. I am aching to take my cat for a nice, long, drive, it's been so long. Can't wait to see more of your build thread.
