That is a really nice looking Cougar Steve! I really like the color on it! I also like how the top doesn’t have seams that would scale out to a half an inch thick. Where did you source the wheels?

Hi Steve!

Very nice, and faithful to the era (the green and the vinyl top). 

I'm curious: since the Cougar had an inch longer wheelbase than the Mustang, did you have to maodify the floor pan in any way to get the wheels centered, or did-it just fall in place?

Great color, and very nice build. Where are the wheels from?

Thanks everyone. 

The Cragar G/T wheels were included in some of the MPC '68-'69 Mopar kits. The Coronet Super Bee kits and possibly a couple others. I received a box of assorted parts from a friend years ago and there was enough of them to make one good set in it. I have a couple more but they're too glue bombed to use.

The Cougar is on a 111 inch wheelbase and the Mustang is on a 108 inch wheelbase so I did have to stretch the chassis a bit along with the exhaust and made a new drive shaft.

No, it came with a copy of the cougar interior. I just cut the floor out of that and used the rest. There's a small gap on the sides and it took a bit of grinding but it went in. Had to put spacers under the front seats to raise them up a bit too.

Thanks for the offer Curtis but I did cast a few of them years ago. Just don't know where they are right now. ?
