69 Cougar - Engine Bay

We decided to smooth up the engine bay a bit and remove some of the Mercury's busy hole infested fire wall section. We are removing the center wall and will add a new section while pushing it back about an inch for more engine clearance.

As seen the new A/C box fits behind the wall and some clearance is available. Notice the section of metal we added above to let the area flow out a bit.

Hood hinge area needed a little bit of smoothing and lowering to allow the new billet hinges to fold up and clear.

Billet hinges are checked for fit and look good.
