Panther Swap Specialist
To all who have helped, supported and criticized on this swap from beginning to current, I wish to offer my deepest "Thank You". Without the recommendations from you, the advice on some items, and the overall support, this project would never have come to exist, or, perhaps it would have ended with a Turbo Chevy LS swap as originally intended.
As most of you are aware, projects of this magnitude are very time consuming. The scale and scope at which I built this project, while holding a job that pins down 120+ hours, keeping a home life, and still taking time to breathe, amazes me looking back.
It is with a VERY sad heart, that I let this one go. Knowing full well in the fact that I never got to realize it to it's full potential, let alone a few dragstrip passes. However, after doing so many builds I can't even count anymore, time is simply something I've come to cherish more than anything. Although I love my hobby, and everything and all the people I have come to meet through it, I have decided to turn my attention to another prospect for the time being.
That being said, letting this car sit in storage while I do so, was not meant to be, nor something I would let happen, not after coming this far with it.
I was approached, and things transpired in such a manner that ended in this. I rest knowing that the buyer has good plans for the car, and hope that my craftsmanship is to his standards, and holds up to his expectations. I have done my best to illustrate such here on this build thread, and hope the car continues to hold attention as it moves into the final stages of what it's capable of.
I will continue to frequent this forum, and offer help and advice to those whom might request it from time to time. My gift to the community here is this build thread, and all helpful information contained therein. It's up to the new owner to decide if this thread will continue to live, or end here.
Godspeed my friend, and may you continue to live a great life, knowing that in the beginning you were destined to end up at the crusher the day I picked you up from the dealer.
