Well finally going to introduce my car after lurking around here and getting a lot of knowledge.

Feel free to check it out. Look over the pages I created and feel free to post any comments or questions.

Just note that this is going to be a SLOW project as I don't get a lot of time to work on the car.

Great stuff Brian. After spending many years working on my car, I am jealous of all the fun your going to have as you start at the beginning.

Learning about your car as you go - and there's nothing wrong with taking your time - is a very fulfilling part of Pantera ownership. I look forward to following your progress.

I love the colour. And the Arriva tires! Enjoy the ride.
Hi Brian, I'm doing the samething on 2012. Had passenger floor, rockers changed and rear wheel house repaired this summer. Lot of work but worth the result...Next summer, i should start the body rust repairs (hood, doors, windshield frame and ultimately beautifull group IV steels wheel flares from Wilkinson Pantera. I couldn't have more pleasant vacations and already looking for the comming ones...Hope you get the same fun and pleasure...It is completely stripped and drive attention already...few unknown neighbours pass by and stop asking me on what kind of car I was working!!!
Have fun and enjoy...
Brian,

Your Pantera story is so much like mine! I purchased my car 11 years ago. Two beautiful daughters and 7 years later, I finally began work on this project. It is now nearly complete.

I began by disassembling the car and acid dipping the chassis. I do not regret doing this; there are many areas that cannot be accessed by normal means and there were several problem areas uncovered. I did not do the body work, but I did everything else in my cramped backyard garage.

I updated a gallery, linked below:

Big Block Restoration Gallery

I have found this forum to be a fantastic resource. In addition, the Pantera owners that live in my area are the best!

Good luck! I look forward to following your blog and watching your progress.

Sincerely,

Matt
Enjoy the ride/time working on the car. 12 years ago I bought mine also. I have cherished almost every minute I have worked on 6656 yes even the blood cuts and bad words. I look forward to watching your car become the vehicle of your dreams like mine has become for me take your time ask if you want help and when you ready... enjoy the ride! Smiler
