'69 Cougar - update 5/5

Class? We don't need no stinking classes!

Updated pics! As you can see I have distressed the painted surface to go with my theme, the Millenium Falcon. The hood has been altered for the carbs and painted an off color. The body has been treated to a black acrylic wash to bring out the areas where the primer is revealed and the door & trunk lines. Some primer on the rear quarters show where rust had set in and some repair had been needed. These pics don't have the interior cup in, so pay no attention to the body sitting on the rear tires. I will be griming up the engine a bit and adding some dull coat to the chrome trim. Really enjoying this one.

Well worth starting over...lookin' much better, Rob. Nice work.

[Jantrix]

Thanks Chris. I'm pretty happy with it. More soon.

Getting close to done now. Just little details left. I'm trying not to rush it.

Interior is very plain just some flat black and silver. Unless its a convertible, I don't put a lot into the interiors.

The chassis is done. Made some scratch shocks and slapper bars. I'll add exhaust tips after its all assembled.

The engine has been dirtified a bit. Not going overboard with the weathering, I want it to look like it's seen some wrench time.

I'll add a rusty wash to the rockers later in but the body is pretty much done.

Those that caught the theme of this build in previous posts, might appreciate the personalized tag.

The next post will be in the Under Glass section. More soon.

Nice work Rob, you've got the "rusty" touch

[Jantrix]

Thanks Chris. I've got about another couple hours work on this.

Ah yes, the bumper stickers. Nice touch. It's so easy to forget how prevalent they were when bumpers were chrome.

You came here in that?

You're braver than I thought.

Nice work Jant. I always like my beaters to have the "one freshly primered front wing" look but you nailed it with this one. As usual.

Looks great, Rob. Heheh...love the bondo sticker on the bondo'd quarter.
