Jerry, I can get the size for you after work.I think it's 57" from end to end of the shaft,not including the yoke. We compared the size before, I'm not positive on that number though.

So, since I changed my underwear, I had to put the fenders back on. LOL

and the hood.....
Final dry run with the panels before I remove the front fenders and hood.
I'll adjust the hood hinges, and leave them on the car permanently.





test run with the gas tank. I need a little adjusting with the drivers side bracket that I made. but other then that, every-things looking great under there.


here's the DS sizes from my car. If anyone else would like to check there's along with kitz, it would help confirm the correct DS sizes between a 3.8 and a 5.0.
It's kinda cartoon like, but it gets the point across. LOL

Yes they are. I just measured my T-birds shaft and it is the same length as your Cougar's shaft. You're all set :D

I don't really have a set plan for the painting, It'll get done before winter though.
I'm still working on other parts too, like the fuel and gas lines, E-brake, misc interior stuff.....

I suppose if had to, I could have it painted in about 2 weeks time. But there's no real reason to rush, since the motor is on a stand, and I haven't even started to take it apart. (and Catjam is still a year away)  :D
