@XR7-4.6 haha I can see why they say it’s mainly for track purposes. A plan of mine was to do a section at a time, underhood, door siles like in the miata picture, floor and working back. It seems to me like the biggest area of work is in the rear window section. Does your cougar have a brace back there??

Just SC L braces, I’m not sacrificing my fold down seats for some scaffolding

Yes. Plywood sheets, PVC pipe, driveshaft etc have all passed through it at one time or another. A fold down is a must have feature in a car to me, I use the one in my Focus all the time too.

Fold down seats are rarer than pedaks these days.

Fold down seats are rarer than pedaks these days.

They’re not terribly rare in existence, SCs by their nature tended to be loaded and every one that rolled off the assembly like with the leather option got the fold down mandatory…. But it’s a very bulky item that isn’t often salvaged so now a days they probably are more rare than the smallish clutch pedal in the parts market, but if you picked up a cheap rotten SC parts car there’s higher chance it has the fold down than not.

Most need to be reupholstered too, not just to match your car in most cases but the top portion on most really took a beating from UVs after 30+ years and dried out that area of the leather fiercely making it look warpy. Mines not great there but the Cougar roofline does an excellent job hiding it.
