Sport Suburban Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Here is another long term project that I finished in 2018. No longer a restoration but started that way and progressed into this 70 Cougar Eliminator convertible. No real Eliminator Convertibles were made but I really wanted to do one and set it up with a Boss 302! It started with an original build up hardtop MPC kit. It has a cracked a pillar that was easily fixed but the body is crazed and the emblems and wipers are sanded mostly off. Perfect for an Eliminator. So that was my goal but needed lots of parts. I was gathering stuff up and also bought Missing Links resin convertible kit. I eventually lost motivation in building the hardtop as I already built one and really decided on building the convertible. I had enough parts to build one. So I switched to the convertible and built this.

Snake45 Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 What a magnificent phantom! What's the paint? Well done and model on!
Sport Suburban Posted January 6, 2019 Author Posted January 6, 2019 Thanks everyone! This was one of my more challenging builds as it seem to fight me no matter what I was doing. Glad it is done!
W-409 Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Another very beautiful Cougar from your bench! I'm not a huge fan of Convertibles, but I have to say that this looks pretty good with the top down even though it's not something you could have bought from the dealer. Very nice and clean work overall.
