“ BUILDING THE COVERS “ Vol # 105 FAST EDDIE SHARTMAN’S AIR LIFT RATTLER 1969 COUGAR FUNNY CAR

M W Elky · May 21

I built this one by kit bashing the mpc 68 cougar funny car chassis combined with the body from the amt 1969 cougar. The cougar’s front wheel wells were cut out and moved forward, and patch panels were made to fill in the void. The paint job was all done with Testors rattle can lacquers Daytona yellow, white , and Deja Blue. The decals for this build are more complicated I originally had a set that came from penguin decals even though they went on nice and looked pretty good they weren’t 100 % accurate then Chuck Boener made a set . So I got a set from him and used the sail panel , small sponser decals on the rockers, the deck lid , and front spoiler. Overall the build looks really sharp . Parked next to the 68 car you can really see the difference in bodies and the reverse paint scheme. It might be the only way to see them side by side . Until next time thanks for looking. Mike
