Cold snap continues to hang in there.

We have set winter records all season and this is the longest cold snap I have ever witnessed.
To make matters worse I came across an article that featured a 1968 Cougar which was completely rebuilt from the ground up. This article is in Modified Mustangs & Fords February edition.
Looking at how awesome this Cougar turned out made me even more excited  to get going again once the weather changes. I always had a vision of what my car would look like once completed, but without a drawing it was only something that I could see, now looking at the pictures of this Cougar this is exactly what I had envisioned. After reading the article I needed to know more about the car, so I contacted the chassis company in P.A and they emailed the owner C.J. Sabol next thing you know we are on the phone for a hour trading our Cougar stories. One of the first questions I had was about the tires and how much if any modifications were done to the wheel wells, as it turns out there were no modifications required as the wells are already flared enough to house the wheel. That was great news.
I will give you some of the car specs as for the rest I encourage you to get a copy of the magazine and check out the whole build story, it is quite amazing.
Engine 351 Windsor, 600 plus horse power.
Tremec T-56 Magnum six speed
Total control products front coil over suspension.
Front P245/35ZR18 tires. Rear P335/30ZR18 tires.
Thank you to C.J. Sabol for taking the time to call me and to Doug at Precsion Chassis for sending the email. I look forward to getting started again when warm weather comes.
