Are you replacing the spindles when you do the brake upgrade or does the brake upgrade use your stock spindles? I'd love to have a complete set of 5 lug spindles and brakes to convert my '62 Falcon over to 5 lug if you're interested in selling them. :D

Cougar looks awesome. Reps :goodjob:

I wish there was a decent classic car forum for ATL but I haven't been able to find one. All the domestic forums are only about late model cars and the street racing between them. :rolleyes:

best looking cougars ever made imo.

Absolutely incredible!!!

excellent work

Thanks well yeah the kit comes with new spindles and what not, the only way you can really do rotors is in a kit or taken from another car where you will have to take spindles and what not anyways.

Let me know if you are going to be getting rid of them. I'm fine with drum brakes I just want 5 lug so I can finally get decent wheels.

Have you done any suspension mods? When I do my suspension I am thinking of re-locating my front upper control arms for the Shelby spec geometry (and because its a 2" drop in ride height for the front end). Gotta get all the steering parts for V8 spec suspension first though. :doh:

so nice

Heck yeah dude. That looks great

wow... GREAT JOB!!!...

Yeah, I upgraded everything. New and improved bushings, ball joints, upper and lower control arms, upgraded front sway bar from 5/8 to 1 1/4, traction bars, leaf spring bushings, still to come the lowering spings better shocks and rear sway bar

Yeah I seen this at the Varsity last thursday! Not really into Cougar's but I can respect it, seeing where it came from and all. Color is beautiful though... Oh and BTW, How'd you fix the rust.... and be honest! Did you do it the right way or did you cheat..lol

Well I did the prep before the shop and then the shop came behind me and fix to perfection. If you really had looked at the paint when you saw it you should not have had to asked the question. Not to be mean I am just saying the guys that painted the car are friends of my uncle and did a amazing job. They had the car for 9 months cutting rust, molding new sheet metal it is the real deal, no bondo crap, and the stripe is painted on not a decal and not painted over a base coat fully painted seperate from the rest of the car making a smooth seamless paint job. My hat is off to the guys that did it amazing.

You know I love it Martin, hot car for sure and 100% hotter in person

WOW! How can anyone, whether a import tuner or muscle car guy, not appreciate true classic beauty.

Absolutely stunning! +1!
