69 Cougar fastback

Now that's a good looking kitbash! Looks like something that coulda/shoulda rolled right out of the factory doors. What kit supplied the roof?

I don't think it's the first time we've seen a fastback Cougar conversion on here, but this one is truly impressive. It appears you used Revell/Monogram parts to upgrade the chassis and engine, and I think I spy the Boss 429's hood scoop, louvers and rear spoiler, on the body. Looks like you found a way to improve the engine bay with a few Revellogram parts too. This is kitbashing at its best! I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Couple questions:

1) Did you also use a Revellogram Mustang interior?

2) Did you have to do anything special to get that lowered stance.

Very VERY smooth conversion!!!! Looks like it was factory stock! Only thig I could see was the dash, Being a Merc, it shoulda had the Cougar dash. But hey, that's just me, an it in NO WAY takes ANYTHING away from it, it's STILL an VERY nicely built model!!!! :D;)

Great looking build Pat. Very nice job. Too bad Mercury didn't grab the roof trom the Mach 1 and try it out back in '69!

IIRC the formal roofline fit the Mercury upscale image, the fastback was reserved for the sportier Ford. Fantastic job on a factory phantom, I love these type builds.
