Before I start on this project I have a few questions... and yes, I did look at CatVert's 68' Cougar Conv. I tried looking up where he bought his floorpans but had no luck finding that particular business...
Anyhow... here arre my questions...
1. If the cockpit of the Cougar is supposedly 3 inches longer overall, how can 65-73 Mustang floor panels be installed properly? I know that Converible floor pans need to be insalled to support additional bracing below.
2. What year (from a Mustang) chrome pieces around the window of a Convertible fit on a 67' Cougar (I heard the front windshield of a regular 67' mustang will fit, but I've also heard that a 65' and 66' Mustang Windshield will fit as well?)
3. What year Mustang convertible power top frame rails and bows will fit? (I looked in an interchange book and it showed 65-73 Mustang all used the same conv frame rail setup (the part that holds the conv top) and that interchanged with a 69/70 Cougar convert???)
4. I know about the supports that hold the bottom of the car together, but what about how the rear seat sets in there? Any supports there? Catvert used a 69 Cougar Conv part for the rear area of the 68'... Did he use the entire conv setup off the 69 Cougar to install in the 68'?
Any other advice regarding the proper year cars for the proper year parts for this conversion are greatly appreciated. I have a 23 year body man that will be doing most of the work (when I'm not in the way) so I need the proper info to only have to do it once.
Thanks in advance...
