alan barton Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Such a sweet ride! I am rapt in the glossy blue paint. I built mine (AMT body with Modelhaus hood) in a similar style and painted in Testor's Guards Red one shot acrylic. I like it a lot but, wow, I just keep going back to that blue paint and thinking of what might have been.These are easily the most under-rated pony cars. I don't understand why you don't see more real ones and more model ones. Congratulations on a beautiful job.CheersAlan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on a beautiful job.CheersAlanWell said, Alan. You're 100% correct. I also never understood why the '67 to '70 Cougars aren't more common. They were really great little Pony Cars. Just look at this beautiful blue example. What's not to love about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Beautiful looking build. I have always thought this was the best looking Cougar body style. Your color choice looks perfect with the white interior. Like the others I had a friend with a Dark Green/ dark Saddle interior XR7 with the 390 and auto. You did a great car justice.

Art Laski Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Looks killer, Jim! Reminds me of the Cougar my sister had in just about the same color. Very nice work, as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RestoModGuy Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 Beautiful build!.did you use the 69 'cougar as a donor chassis?.Thanks Curtis. Yes Modelhaus did not supply a chassis and the AMT 69 Cougar was recommended and fit perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mecklm Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 As a collector of original Custom Volkswagens, I can't wait to see your take on it as part of your "sweet sixteen" builds. Based on how gorgeous this Cougar is, the VW is going to be awesome. Will you be using the IMC VW, since there's speculation that Hot Wheels got their details from that very kit?Thanks for sharing - looking forward to the rest of the builds also.

I should have got the IMC VW kit since it is already front engine V8, however when I was scooping up all the kits I needed its was crazy expensive and I ended up buying the Revell kit. I'll be modifing it to have a chromed V8 up front. Think I'll do the Hot Pink color, as that is what I recall I had as a kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecklm Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Hey, I have both the IMC and the later Union kits, both unbuilt. If there's any info or pics you need of anything involved with those kits, just let me know and I'll see what I can do. I also have an extensive collection of the VW from Hot Wheels, including some duplicates that are in storage. If you need a clean example of one, just pm me your address and I'll shoot one over to you. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
