I had the following two boxes of stuff hangin’ 'round the hobby room…
In the Cougar box was a couple old glue bombs…
And this was in the Mustang box…
So, I got the idea to attempt to build one of these…
In my opinion, this was a missed opportunity by the Ford Motor Company.
This is a project I started a while back, and since the “other” forum shut down, I thought I’d post it here, starting from the beginning of the project. This is nowhere near completed, so I’ll bring it up to date as I get a few minutes here and there to upload the pics. Any tips and tricks will be surely welcomed! I hope you all enjoy as I bludgeon this bunch o’ plastic! LOL
Oooooo , i like that… A fastback kitty. I want a 1:1 of those.
Is that a custom built 1:1, or a model, or a prototype?
I followed a car with a Washington vanity plate one morning…for 3 miles I tried to figure out “SPTNKTN”. He finally hit the turn signal, blink, blink, blink…blink, blink, blink. Almost ran into the ditch laughing…a Cougar.
Well…after leaving this project dormant for about a year, I dumped it back out on the workbench…
On the way to modifying the Cougar dashboard to fit the Mustang interior tub, I seem to remember a mis-guided razor saw and a Band-Aid coming into play…
In the search for parts and pieces for this project, I pulled this kit down from the shelf…
I found these valve covers in the '69 kit…
Some of these parts will be incorporated into the Puma GT project, as well…
The '69 XR-7 kit has a badly warped body in it, so I’ll most likely use some of those kit parts on this build.
Looking at hte grille, I thought it might need a little something extra…
So, I added just a couple simple pieces of .040" half-round trim…
Now Mustangs and Cougars, like their Chevy II counterparts, had small engine bays and little room to change plugs and whatnot. SO, you’ll have to throw the whole thing out. I’m just kidding. This is pretty neat. I love the curved velocity stacks. Nice touch.
