Obviously attach the ground wire to the housing of the light. I really like the look for the part number I gave you a it pretty much looks like all the old style under hood lights
I put a few in other cars. You simply need to order one that has a built-in Mercury switch and you just run a power wire back to either the battery or the fuse box. Light bulb frame is screwed into the hood and is grounded that way. Classic industries sells a universal one which is part number...
I was actually considering that but decided to leave things original since it's a matching number car and I even have the original carb, brake booster and master cylinder with their brass tags still intact.
I didn't find a really good video for putting quarter glass in but here's how I did it. I first bolted the regulator in and inserted the arm into the body slide while I put the regulator in. I then put the track in after I'd already greased it and only secured the bottom bolt loosely and set it...
You don't know how hard I looked for a good trail duster or ram charger but living in Ohio they were rusted far worse than the comparable Chevy's or Fords. The Plymouth trail duster was my first choice
I know it's a little off topic but I'm splitting my time between the cuda and I'm building a 78 Blazer to run my grandkids around in the summer and we're doing major surgery this weekend. Lol
Thanks I do have a 1973 shop manual. I just had bad memories for my last car which is a 67 RS SS Camaro with electric windows and I had 26 hours in getting quarter vent glass and door windows to line up. Absolute nightmare
No sorry I got a couple three threads that I started over the last 12 months and used them as updates the car is now nearing completion. It was a total basket case when it was started a little over 3 years ago
It's going to be slow progress on the cougar for the next few months. I just finished my excursion rocker panels and cab corners and I've got major body work to do on the old Blazer. Lol
I decided not to use the Magnum 500 rims as I have on the 73 cuda and put the original date coded steel wheels back on. They were sandblasted and painted and I think they have a very nice look. I need to get some new dog dish caps
