Here’s another shot of the before and after look. I like the deep black look up front of #camilathe68cougar I will be ditching the stock vacuum actuated system that came with the front grill. I shed a lot of weight up front from removing the vacuum system. I will be looking for electric flips/closure. #protouring#mercurycougarxr7 #hotrod#classiccougar #68mercurycougar#ford #mercury #racecar #fastback

I did a little surgical cutting out back to the stock rear tubs. I cut the sheet metal metal space and butting it up to the frame rails. Gained about 2” in add’l clearance for bigger wheels/tires out back and open up the untapped capabilities in the future #protouring#mercurycougarxr7 #hotrod#classiccougar #68mercurycougar#ford #mercury #racecar #fastback

I did a little unboxing and oh man I’m super excited about putting a @heidtssuspensions IRS into @camilathe68cougar ! @wilwooddiscbrakes add to the stopping power and E-brakes to boot! Thank you @stangaholics for the help on getting our claws on this kit. #protouring #mercurycougarxr7#hotrod #classiccougar#68mercurycougar #ford #mercury#racecar #fastback

Getting things rolling out back with the mock up! Always always try it on for funzies. And most importantly measure 10Xs for good measure before cutting ?? I can’t wait to get this IRS slapped on! ?. #protouring #mercurycougarxr7#hotrod #classiccougar#68mercurycougar #ford #mercury#racecar #fastback

One more view before lifting the big ‘ol diff...I got a big diff now...? I’m looking forward to bolting the rest of this kit soon! Stay tuned, will it fit #camilathe68cougar #protouring#mercurycougarxr7 #hotrod#classiccougar #68mercurycougar#ford #mercury #racecar #fastback#mustang #classicmustang#gasmonkeygarage#heidtssuspension #welding #rebuild#tciengineering #builtnotbought#fenders #garagebuild #budgetbuild#willwoodbrakes #dapperlighting

This is starting to take flight, I never thought I’d ever see coil overs in the back of my #camilathe68cougar let alone tubular arms and a sweet 9” rear end with 3.90 gears. FYI I got some of my pics mixed up while working on measuring and putting this thing together. So the instructions are pretty good install hasn’t been difficult IMO. I can’t wait to get this all together for a mock fitment test! ? #protouring#mercurycougarxr7 #hotrod#classiccougar #68mercurycougar#ford #mercury #racecar #fastback
