Yeah, I closed the crossmemeber in I figured that would help stiffen up the rear.

 The jack rails are just for jacking on. THe car sets so low and if I loose an airbag I can't get to the subframe. Atleast I could get to the jackrail.


I left the crusie control because it will be staying on.  LOL

That's what mine are primarily used for, but it doesn't hurt to tie it all together ;)

NICE work!

What are your plans for this car?  What drivetrain are you going to be running?  What is your target weight?  ET/MPH goals?  Hell - what color is it gonna be?  :D

I really like what you're doing.  I've got an '84 that needs some work... ;)

It will be the windsor engine with the turbo setup off my other cougar.

 I hope to run Mid 10.00  @ around 135 MPH. The weight is not an issue. The old car was 3600lbs.

 The car will be 2 tone. Black is one of the colors and the rest is still in secret.

 The car will just be a cruiser/racer. It will have A/C Moonroof,cruise all the goody's

  Thanks for the nice coments
