Does it have a “Caution FAN” sticker? 
I’d like to see some up close photos of bracket bolts such as the horn mounting… heads out towards the nose or inwards towards the firewall?
Bracket bolts–Horn mounting, shock cover and other bolts were mounted according to the installer. If right handed on passenger side of car, mounted with nuts on inside, if left handed, nuts on outside etc. There is no protocol with the Mustang club of America because there was none at the factory. Been there, done that.

PS—No CAUTION FAN sticker. They were not used at the factory.
Well done Dave. That is a great Cougar. It is special to see one in this type of condition in photos but even better to see it in the videos. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your latest Cougar addition.

Got my MCACN email tonight, with Dave’s Eliminator prominently featured! Are you going to take the car through thier Vintage Certification program? That would be so awesome to have a video of that (hint hint)!
Here are the mufflers on the 10/13/1969 built B2 Eliminator. Things have been a little hectic lately but I will be adding more pictures and scans of the paperwork. I do plan to have the car at the East Coast Cougar Nationals next month as well as in Chicago in November.

The original owner had two build sheets that came with the car. I do not know where they were found. They are both tractor feed pages but they are different in that one is ~ 8 x 8 inches and one is ~ 8 x 11 inches. The only differences in what is on the pages is the rotation numbers. The 8 x 8 is rotation number 0639 which is also written on the radiator support and the other one is rotation number 0624. The rotation number on the buck tag is 503, so we know that there were at least 3 different rotation numbers assigned to this vehicle during production.
Build sheet short 0639
Build sheet long 0624
The spare tire appears to have never been removed. As this car was built in October of 1969, it has what are commonly called the “no size” tire. The actual size of the tire “F70-14” is not called out in raised white letters. The belief is that the “sized” tires were not manufactured until January of 1970. There are 4 red paint daubs on the back of the tire as well as an inked arrow to the weight. On the front side there were two small squares of rubber that kept the tire from rubbing against the rivets on the jack, but stayed on the tire when I removed it as can be seen by the “Goodyear” lettering.
That is cool! I’m pretty sure I’ve seen those little blocks of rubber drifting around in trunks before. Always thought they were just stray junk. Probably came loose the first time the tires were pulled out and then ended up down in the nooks and crannies.
Also cool to see how they cut the hole in the trunk mat to accomodate the mounting bracket location for the staggered shock cars. My mat is pretty beat up, so it is nice seeing how it is supposed to / used to look 
Thanks for the great detail pics and info Dave!
*Also nice to see exactly what sort of Jack I should have in the trunk, since mine was built within days of yours
Did you find any date or PN stamps on your Jack? Or handle?
While at MCACN the car was filmed by Lou Costabile of “My Car Story”. It has been posted on You Tube.
Dave, congratulations on getting your car featured! What a great Cougar.
Awesome video!

“Our favorite Ford product pick at MCACN went to this survivor 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator”
Dave - thanks for sharing! Very cool original Eliminator. I didn’t know that you could get the front bumper guards (with the appearance protection package) on the Eliminator, so I learned something new.

We should probably add a link to the recent Muscle Car Review article as well!
But wait there’s more! We shot this video last summer and I finally finished editing it. Brace yourselves, it’s 1 hour 40 minutes long!
I spent today preparing for the BOSS Reunion this labor day weekend. Most of that entailed finally working on taking off the 50 years of accumulated dirt and grime in the wheel wells and undercarriage.
Here is the driver’s rear inner quarter showing a paint daub on the rear sway bar and the Autolite shock.
The front passenger side had a substantial amount of body color compared to the driver side which had almost none. The slop paint appears to be a fairly consistent color where ever it is found including the undercarriage.
I think that is the remains of a buildsheet in the upper corner covered with sound deadner.
The front fender braces were definitely painted black.
The trim rings are a C7OA 1210-A
The front sway bar has 2 paint daubs on it.
The BOSS 302 has an extra heat shield on the driver’s side motor mount which is a piece of asbestos stapled to a metal bracket.
This shows the drivers front inner fender and the ty-loc that secured the vacumn line to the bumper bracket.
This shows the shadows left by the buck jig on the rear frame rail. The front shadow that does not line up with a hole is where the Mustang body would be attached to the jig.
Paint application or lack thereof at the passenger front torque box.
