Last update of the night, things are accelerating a little up front and paint is coming soon. We fixed the shock delete panels to allow the @tci_engineeringarms to be installed/removed. I can’t wait to show everyone when this is painted! ?#protouring#mercurycougarxr7  #hotrod#classiccougar #68mercurycougar#ford #mercury #racecar #fastback

Just how many times do you install and remove your parts as your building your Muscle Car/#hotrod? ? I’ve lost count now... ??‍♂️ and just in the nick of time, I found a set of clean #s197 first gen wheels with bald tires for cheap to roll @camilathe68cougar around the shop with dolly’s. We had to add spacers for the rear IRS kit to bolt in properly. The color combo hopefully ends up tying nicely together #protouring#mercurycougarxr7 #hotrod#classiccougar #68mercurycougar#ford #mercury #racecar #fastback

It’s nice to see you on all Fours once again @camilathe68cougar...it’s been a while ? it’s been a long time since this Cat has been sitting on its own bare weight. And now time for...you guessed it MORE body work! ? sometimes it feels like you’re almost there, when you’re finally getting over the hump only to see another hill to climb #protouring #mercurycougarxr7#hotrod #classiccougar#68mercurycougar #ford #mercury#racecar #fastback

A little body work getting done up front and along the lines of the hood and front end caps being shaved off. The back end and trunk are next! Do you like the shaved caps on the Cougars? #protouring#mercurycougarxr7 #hotrod#classiccougar #68mercurycougar#ford #mercury #racecar #fastback

 need everyone’s help on input of selecting a color scheme for the IRS bare components. As a reminder my front @tci_engineering front IFS is red with the exception of the cross bar section. The cage inside is also red, I’m just looking for any ideas to consider thank you all again #protouring#mercurycougarxr7 #hotrod#classiccougar #68mercurycougar#ford #mercury #racecar #fastback

?I found quite of bit of examples online of the IRS on a few cars. The green mustang I’ve seen at Good guys in Pleasanton, pretty neat I may add. Which color combo is your favorite? That blue color looks cool, but sadly it wouldn’t match anything on my car...let me know what you think
