PistonDog Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I received this Cougar about 15 years ago. As for the before pics, I don't have any. Imagine it was shot in a nice bubbly yellow with 10 coats of gloss black on top of that. There were air bubbles throughout the paint. I stripped the paint with Easy Off in the summer (July-ish). From this past Friday until tonight I think I made some progress. This was the first time i tried to wire an engine. I still have to foil, detail and do final assembly. Thanks for looking. Here are a few engine bay shots Interior Shots (flocked, but needs some spots touched up) Undercarriage Body Thanks for looking, feed back welcome. I still have a lot of work to do to save this ford.

blunc Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 That's a lot of good work, nice job on the engine. I suggest in the future not to flock the whole interior, texture contrasts almost always look more interesting to the eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Nice body color and engine build, the interior is a little wild for the car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'70 Grande Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I suggest in the future not to flock the whole interior, texture contrasts almost always look more interesting to the eyes. I have to agree with Blunc here. You're paint-detailing skills are exceptional and very cleanly done, (love your firewall)! Use that same talent when painting your interior and i think the results will be much better than a coat of flocking! Nice save on this Cougar; its looking good!

PistonDog Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Just to update, my 8 year old daughter asked if she could flock the interior. So I let her. She likes to build with me sometimes. I would have only flocked the carpet, but if this gets a new young builder into the hobby...so be it (with a fuscia interior).
