Project - The Bat in The Cat Reply #15 – April 16, 2008, 04:59:26 PM Quote from: grutinator;214210be sure to check. my hood fit fine, stuck of peice of clay on the bracket, closed the hood, didnt even begin to touch. i guess its a 50/50 shot. probably has alot to do with my car havin 200,xxx miles and worn out motor mounts sagging the engine down. but check before you stert hacking up your brackets.Worn motor mounts are 99.9% of the problem...as soon as you drop it into gear and hit the gas, the motor torques and smacks the a/c bracket against the scoop insert bracket on the hood.

The car was not running, it was just that close in my car. The motor mounts are new factory mounts. The bracket is ground down now and there is some clearance. Quote Selected
Project - The Bat in The Cat Reply #17 – December 05, 2013, 03:22:31 PM Have not updated this in a LOOOOOOOOONG time. Been posting most of my updates on Facebook, but thought it was about time to put it here too. The Cougar is in the bodyshop and just a week or two away from fresh paint! Going with the factory color, Medium Sandalwood Metallic, but I'm going to add a few "touches" that I'm not ready to divulge yet. Here are a couple pics of the car in various stages of primer, blocking, etc. Quote Selected

I've been talking about getting this painted for years. I think Vinnie has painted his at least twice since I first started talking about it! After the paint is done, I have to work on getting the seats redone. No matter what, I am taking it to Carlisle in 2014. I already put in for my vacation. Quote Selected

First thing I do every day when I get to work is go back to the body shop and check on my baby. They keep joking that they would get done faster if I would stop taking so many pics. :) Quote Selected
