mikelo Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I like it. I had that idea when I swapped the back of the Cougar to put on a 74 Mustang. The 70 back looks a lot better. Nice factory phantom. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Wow. How did I miss this before? Beautiful concept, beautiful execution - makes it look so real! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Looks good, but there's a reason Ford never built it that way. The Cougar was supposed to be more "upscale" than Mustang (since it was sold as a Mercury and not a Ford), therefore the more "formal" roofline on the Cougar.

JTalmage Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I actually bought some Mustang II parts off of a guy that was building one of these in 1:1 form... very slowly lol. But it was going pretty well. Definitely an interesting swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy J. Tannehill Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I have always liked Cougars and Mustangs. Yours gives us the best of both...I also like the under the hood situation...I am building a Cobra Jet for a project...I like your detail ideas.
