This is my 1968 cougar that will be restoring over the winter. My goal is to have it done by opening day next year.
I'm going to try and keep ths post up todate as much as possible with the installaton of the mustang II front end it might help someone in the future.
The way the car sat the day i bought it.

tomorrow I plan on cutting out the shock towers and preping everything for the new Mustang II K member.
:badass: :badass:
 
sure is a nice red notch there :dontknow: :laugh: i heard that was the baddest street car around? I've seen it pull the wheels on city streets:dontknow:
 
Nice. Did you by chance buy that from a MM member who lives south of Metro airport? If so I remember the guy talking about the car and telling me he was like the original owner after it exchanged a few hands. If it is that car it is a really dark purple, not black. Either way a very nice ride indeed!
 
What are the plans for this restoration? Good lookin' car. Early Cougars have always been a favorite of mine.

Well it already has A complete ladder bar set up on the back mini tubbed with coil overs, 9" 4.56 gears.

The car has a 12 point chromoy roll gage it it.

So beides that the body is in great shape only found 2 spots on it that need some attention.

For the front im putting in a mustang II front end and smoothing out the engine bay
It will be completly gutted.
the color is going to be a silver of some sort.

The motor is going to be my R block with my eagle roating assembly with tickflow highports stage 3 ported from bennet along with a matched super victor and a HD 1050, for the nitrous i'm thinking a fogger.

I'm still up in the air on the rims i'm going to use. was thinking of these

Also going to rewire the whole car with a painless kit but add a few custom features of mine to give it a little flare

Have some interior issues that ned to be worked out also. It's kinda bunched up in there I want the inerior to flow together if yea know what mean
 
That car is awesome! I love the early Cougars, I used to have a 67. I'm going to build another one some day, prolly a '70.

Please post details and pics as you go about the MII conversion, that's something I'm going to get for sure when I build an old car like that.
 
Ok towers are are out

Took awhile, it was a PITA. seems they were replaced and cutting the stick welds were a MF. SO 17 sawzaw blades, 25 cutting disks, sledge hammer and a few other tools, here is where i stand. I'm hoping to get the new front end this week.
