It lifts the entire body at once, instead of lifting the front then trying to lift the back, and can be balanced as well. posted:  September 6, 2011   retiredpartsman      a 68 cougar is a unibody car the body is the frame. posted:  September 6, 2011   djkleen      That's what I was afraid of... there is a lot of rust on the underside. This car sat in the woods for about 7 years and I finally have a house with a garage. I am starting the restore now and it is UGLY under there. any advise is greatly appreciated. If anyone knows where I can get some parts like a hood that would be helpful also. posted:  September 6, 2011   oldride      Hi djkleen, I would suggest looking through this list of Salvage Yards which can be found here: www.oldride.com/directory/junkyard.html Good Luck! posted:  September 6, 2011
