if you do decide to ditch your front coilovers, though, let me know and i may buy them for the cougar

i say don't do it, just get a TCP G-bar or Air Ride tech Air Bar for the rear and add some bags up front with some tubular arms but leave the car's structure alone. i'm not a big fan of cutting cars up to build them into something they aren't as most people are aware. modify the hell out of it all you want but leave the basic structure of the car intact so that you or someone else can restore the car back to stock someday. there's really nothing inherently wrong woth the basic structure of the early stangs other than they are a little weak, but they can easily be strengthened without cutting the car to pieces. it's for this reason alone that i decided against going with the CPP lower arm conversion on the cougar but even that is only cutting out the front strut rod supports. but that is something you could look into for your car and even keep your coilovers you already bought for the front.

actually it was the card reader that wiped out the first set of pics i took of the coug and the mustang pics were taken with buddies cannon digi cam and it works with my computer just fine. i'll get some pics, when i'm good and ready :tongue: and have time, still trying to get the cougar water tight and the stang is getting ready for it's car show debut next weekend. i've got a bunch of parts i need to put up on ebay anyway so i'll get it sorted out and when i do i'll post the pics. and i'll send pak about 15 emails with all the pics he's been complaining about missing since i decided to buy this car last spring, one pic for every day since then......:double fuck: i've been very techno challenged lately and i'll be getting a new computer to replace my old one whenever my dad sends it to me. i've been using my daughters for almost 2 months because mine fried the motherboard. probably why i haven't been able to get anything to work since her computer is way different than mine was and doesn't have the same programs loaded on it. not an excuse just a thought......

i figured that was the reason but though i'd ask anyway.

i already found one but it' a different style. might work ok, but i realy wanted one that has the brace that goes under the gas tank, it makes a nice skid plate when you have a trailer on the car, the one i got doesn't have this piece.
