1967 Convertible Conversion

Anybody like the “swamp-buggy” look on a Cougar? 235/75R15 is a lot of tire.

Got the replacement 8.8 and the new springs up under the car today. This added another 325 lbs to the rear but none of this really loads the springs. Miles of clearance to the modified wheelhouse.

I will start adding the additional ~1000 lbs tomorrow.

Amazingly, the combination of the width of the 8.8 (1986 5.0 Mustang) and the backspacing on these Ranger rims is almost correct!

I’m thinking roller by end of March.
