1970 mercury cougar

[michelle]

this is a rebuild of another model I built a while ago I took it apart to redo it in a different way
The rims and trunk lid spoiler are from my parts boxes 
I did a right hand conversion of the dash and shifter placement
i feel the right hand drive dash is the most natural looking and logical layout over left hand drive configuration
I painted the body rust-oleum 2x gloss coral

A real headturner there Michelle, that coral colour is a winner and the wheels suit it perfectly. Well done. 

Cheers, 

David. ??

Dang it!...... Now I want to do a 70 Cougar! Fantastic build, impressed with the idea of right hand drive dash.

Some of these pot lickers in NC drive on the wrong side, perhaps they need right hand drive to increase some of us life expectancy in NC, lol!

It looks really nice.

I have to wonder if you’ve driven a right hand drive vehicle and what makes them more logical and natural looking?

Hi Michelle!

Well, you are a patient modeler. Good work. And this is a VERY rare kit, at least in my neck of the woods...
