- JG300-StoopyHelluva nice job your doing there, Richard....especially keeping on budget, that's tough.
Many years ago I had to pull the gas tank out of my '66 Mustang to get some rust repair done (tracing a smell of gas, I found I had some holes in the top from corrosion), and this was like a trip down memory lane.
Just the thought of handling a large metal container with gas in it, and the possibility of setting it own too roughly and making a spark, had me on edge.

I imagine when it comes to tank placement, the '66 Stang and my Cougar are very similiar.
Was able to get the Power booster and master cylinder today after a lot of checking around and get them both for about $100 less than I was expecting which helps the bottom line. $300 left in the budget which should be more than enough for the remaining parts. Might even have enough left over to get that Repro parking brake handle and window washer resevoir.
- JG300-AscoutAs you're goin' in that deep, have you considered just stripping out what you can and having everything blasted that you have access to?

Blasted? You talking about the engine compartment?

Not braggin or anything but did get on it in the straight away and got going so fast even the Vinyl top couldn't hold on
- JG300-StoopyMethinks there is a tad bit more to the story on that Cougar than just "small-block Ford power".
But your car is much closer to the 11's now than it's been in 12 years and that's cause enough for celebration!
