i dont know why i like this '79 so much, maybe because its a first year panther?
someday id like to have a box for each production year, and if i have enough room/money id get a waggin for each year too.1988 MGM GS - Preferred Equipment Package 172A; InstaClear

I am now working on restoring the engine bay. So far I have pulled the engine wire harness and really cleaned it up. (retaped it all, got rid of un-needed wires etc) Now i just need to pick up some new wire looming since the old stuff was pretty ratty looking. After that the harness can be put away somewhere till its ready to go back in.
Inner fenders, outer heater box, wiper trans, etc... will be removed and will be painting the fire wall engine frame and insides of fenders. Also going to spruce up the engine a little. Have a set of E7's lined up with mark 7 headers. Looking for a 4bbl intake. also thinking about useing the HO cam but not sure if a rollor cam will work in the 79 block, but I will do some reading in the tech section.... Also thinking a set of flowmasters are in order.
As far as paint, im going to leave it flat back. really growing on me..
Anyways pics of progress to come within the next few days

Good choice on keeping the flat black. It just looks too bad ass.

Ok here are some more updated pics.
So far got the inner fenders out, rad, all hoses, vac lines ect... All un-needed vac lines will be removed. There was a mess of them on this engine.
I also have a set of mark 7 headers for it. going to get E7 heads and a decent cam, and a 4 bbl intake
Put my custom headlight bezels on a month or so ago, Some of you might remember them from my bright red '84 merc

i see the intake is leaking
pull the timing cover while you got it apart too, replace the harmonic balancer, and the timing set........the early 302's have that nylon cam gear that fails
