Modelhaus/AMT '67 Cougar

[Can-Con]

I've had this for about 15 years and have been working on it a little at a time for years. 

This the Modelhaus "transkit" to be used with a donor. They also had a full kit which included the chassis and wheels/tires. Both were curbside.

I cut the hood open and started grafting in the underhood area and stretching the chassis from an AMT '67 Mustang to fit the Cougar body.

,,Added a vinyl roof,,

and painted it Ford "ivy green".

The Mustang front suspension , strait from the box sits quite high and holds the wheels out too far  so I slices the suspension arms partially from the frame so I could bend them up to make it sit a little lower, I also made it so the front wheels will be poseable. 

,, And here's where it sits now. Still have to add a strip of foil to the window sills and run some semi-gloss black around all the window openings.

Great colour combination on the Cougar! I have an annual which I was planning to paint in the dark green/black roof combo, but the Ivy Green really works.
