Last week I was in a local wrecking yard to burn out a right front frame rail from a 67 cougar,to repair a 68 mustang I'm doing some work on over the winter.Please understand guys....this car is beyond restoration,or I would'nt have hacked on it.(however it does have a decent dr. door if anyone needs it) Anyway,I had knew that these cars shared the same front structure sheet metal as the mustang ,but I was shocked to find out that this particular car had no front torque boxes,on either side behind the front tires,nor did it ever have them,or I would have been able to tell where they were.I am aware that 68 Cougars and 67/68 Mustangs have front torque boxes. Was this something that was a one year only thing that Ford/Mercury did,by not installing front torque boxes in the 67 cougars,or did I happen to find something that was missed by the assembly line worker who installed torque boxes??? Just seemed odd to me I guess.
