Well, I won't make it to Concorso this year, but here's the latest progress update on the Pantera engine rebuild...

I expect to have the car back on the road by mid-September.

Garth, Thanks for taking the photos and sharing. I greatly enjoy following the progress.-Jim Coyne
Awesome job. Love the detail. Keep posting.
Sorry to hear your car is not going to make it but great write-up of your progress nonetheless.
I know how you feel about trying to get everything done when you are on a deadline. My car shipped a couple of weeks ago but prior to it shipping, I had to make a decision on my car on what is and what is NOT going to get done as the date approached so my car has no A/C (the conversion I started I stopped - not enough time), no headliner and all these other things I wanted to get done. Oh well, my car is a 10 footer anyway. Stay 10 feet away and the car looks great
Hope to see you in Monterey anyway.
Aloha

I'll be there, with or without my Pantera. Actually, a couple local club members volunteered to come over this weekend and help me get the engine and trans-axle buttoned up and plan to come back Tuesday night to install the engine; so I may actually drive it to Monterey - fingers crossed. Unfortunately, I already sold my Concorso exhibitor ticket. But I'll be thrilled just to drive my car to Monterey!
I know you can do it. A lot of local support over there so I am sure you'll get the help you need to get it done. I would jump at the chance to help out this weekend but I'm not flying in until Monday morning. I am just hoping my car is not a mess when I pick it up from Horizons.
Great writeup. Awesome work.
