This is how they should have built '69 Cougar's.

I always wondered how a Sportsroof Cougar might have looked. Turns out it would look pretty good.

This is one of those builds where you slap yourself in the forehead, and say, "Why didn't I think of that?!" Great idea, well executed!

Now that's a good looking kitbash! Looks like something that coulda/shoulda rolled right out of the factory doors. What kit supplied the roof?

[Tom Setzer]

Nice Build!

I like it. Alot! I've always said there are very few cars that look good in orange. As it turns out...this is one of them. Well done.

I don't think it's the first time we've seen a fastback Cougar conversion on here, but this one is truly impressive. It appears you used Revell/Monogram parts to upgrade the chassis and engine, and I think I spy the Boss 429's hood scoop, louvers and rear spoiler, on the body. Looks like you found a way to improve the engine bay with a few Revellogram parts too. This is kitbashing at its best! I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Couple questions:

1) Did you also use a Revellogram Mustang interior?

2) Did you have to do anything special to get that lowered stance.

Very nice concept and model.

Looks really scale. Good job.

Now that is a good looking Cougar ! There have been a few fastbacks done before , but yours is by far the best executed I've seen . Excellent detailing , and I love the color !

[Len Woodruff]

Very well done Pat!

[Bart68]

Very nice job and I agree they should have built that car.

[S. Svendsen]

Nice build. The fast back roof line really suits that body.

[Scuderia]

Perfectly done, awesome stuff.

[phil-east]

looks great, the orange paint looks perfect.

Oh man, do I love this build. SHINY :) RULES! I once had an '86 (?) Capri in about the same color. I always wanted to put a green stem on the roof so it looked more like a pumpkin.

[Big Daddy]

well done very nice job

Very VERY smooth conversion!!!! Looks like it was factory stock! Only thig I could see was the dash, Being a Merc, it shoulda had the Cougar dash. But hey, that's just me, an it in NO WAY takes ANYTHING away from it, it's STILL an VERY nicely built model!!!!

Great looking build Pat. Very nice job. Too bad Mercury didn't grab the roof trom the Mach 1 and try it out back in '69!

[stevehansen]

Cool, excellent job

[slammedi'am]

Looks good!

Great looking build Pat. Very nice job. Too bad Mercury didn't grab the roof trom the Mach 1 and try it out back in '69!

IIRC the formal roofline fit the Mercury upscale image, the fastback was reserved for the sportier Ford. Fantastic job on a factory phantom, I love these type builds.
