There are three things on my list of things to do . First is to repaint the hood . Probably purple , and definitely with no stripes . I liked them at first but as I worked on the car I started to change my mind . Second is to buy some clear styrene and make real windows for the back and sides ( flush fitting ) . All I had was some thin clear plastic that I glued inside the roof . And third is to get rid of those tailpipe extensions . They are too long and I think don't belong on this type of car . I really like the way it turned out , but I guess nobody is ever really satisfied . What do you think ?

WOW !

Thanks everyone for the comments . Corvair Jim - I hope you finish your project soon . I can't wait to see it ! Webb - The colors would look great on your Stude . I'm planning on using them again on my own sedan delivery project . BOB .

Hey Riley , It looks fine for a first try . Much better than I did when I was 14 . Looks like you have a talent for this kind of stuff ! Keep up the good work ! BOB .

Nice wagon ! Love those wheels .

Now that is COOL ! Love the paint , and the flames turned out great ! Do you remember who you bought the mask from ?

Very , very , very nice . I love the paint and finish . Great job !

Chuck , It turned out pretty cool ! Even people who think it is strange like it ! I like the gauges hanging under the dash . BOB .

That's not a bad looking kit , and your results are excellent ! The paint looks perfect .

Thank You Ira . 'nough said .

Here's some more pictures . I had a Jimmy Flintstone body , but really didn't care for it , so I built my own . The roof was made using pieces from a second 300 kit and a Plymouth kit . Other than the hood , the only modification I made was to the front bumper . A little grinding got rid of the 5 mph look ! The engine from the Revell Hemi 'cuda fit nicely . Only a little mod to the upper control arms to make room for the exhaust . Also a little creative grinding to get the hood to close . The rest of the car is box stock except for a scratch built exhaust . I used the wheels and tires from the 'cuda . Also the steering wheel and pistol grip shifter . There are a couple of things I'd like to change but I think I'll wait a while . Any suggestions are welcome . Thanks for looking . BOB .

Here's what I found this morning in my local Walgreens . A '29 Model A diecast for $5.99 ! It's 1/24 scale too !

Finished it up this morning after almost two months . Build details are in "On the Workbench" . I'll post more photos when I get off work in the morning . Thanks for looking . BOB .

Really nice paint ! It must really look sharp in person .

Same here . I thought it was a factory built Demo by Tamiya ! Beautiful VW ! BOB .

Dave, Turned out really sweet ! I'm also hooked on Wagons . I say hood pins on all 4 corners . It looks a little plain without them . BOB .

Yeah , that's cool ! Those are neat little kits . Have you looked at the Cartoon Cars Contest ?

I finished this morning and wanted to get a couple pictures posted . It took less than two months which is a record for me , I build slow ! Anyway , it's not perfect and I'd like to change a couple of things , but it's good for now . If you see anything that I could do , please tell me . I plan on reworking it in the future . As soon as I get some decent pictures I'll post it on " Under Glass " . Thanks. BOB .

Like everyone else said , very nicely done ! One of the cleanest Cougars I've seen . Your detailing is just right .

Not Bad . Actually it's Great ! The tires are a nice touch that is always overlooked ! Good Luck !

I really like this idea . Just one question . . . where are you getting the Clay Smith decals ? I've looked every where with no luck .

Model Expo has Chrome and Metallic Gold tape in widths down to .010" wide . Their latest catalog lists them for $1.99 per roll . www.modelexpo-online.com

I like it ! Nice job .
