Pat Minarick Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 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? I used a Revell '69 Shelby roof, interior,chassis ,and engine. Glad you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-Machine Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I always wondered how a Sportsroof Cougar might have looked. Turns out it would look pretty good. It sure did turn out nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Minarick Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 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. It's really a Mustang kit with the lower part of a Cougar body. I use a '68 Mustang front suspension moved back a little for the wheel base,I drilled new holes up higher to lower the front a little and some shorter tires, That is a boss scoop and louvers ,but the rear spoiler is from a '69 Barracuda kit ,the Mustang one looked to big. Glad you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Minarick Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 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!!!! Thanks ,I thought the sportier dash and interior would look more right with the fastback body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I used a Revell '69 Shelby roof, interior,chassis ,and engine. Glad you like it. Thanx for the info Pat. I do like what you did with kit. It's so well done that if a person didn't know a Cougar didn't come that way,they would never know the difference. It's just that well put together. Job well done!
