Today I got the vinyl roof off, all the window goo off...that stuff sux. And all the rest of the little things off the car, including headliner. Looks like roof was just starting to spot rust under the vinyl...think I caught it early...wheeew....

Today I started to mock up and install the Chris Alston G-Bar 4 Link cradle. It fits a Mustang easy enough, but on the Cougar you need cut a tunnel for it reach all the way up to body. The supply you with a sheet metal to weld in and create a tunnel. I cut the hole, and fit the upper cradle into place...just need to weld in the tunnel. Am I really capable of all this? Not really, but so far so good...lol

Today I hooked up the rotisserie completely, and got it off the jack stands. I installed the balancers and took the rest of the day trying to balance the car, so I can rotate it easily. IDK what I'm doing wrong, or if there is a trick to balancing it. Does car stay level? Lower in front or rear? I took it as high as I can, with reference to the pivot tube....pivot point. But no luck....can't get it to balance....not sure who to ask for help...
