69 Cougar 428CJ convertible

[Sport Suburban]

Here is one that I have been wanting to build for some time now and had finally got around to doing it. This is a 69 Cougar 428CJ convertible. This started out as the 428CJ coupe kit. Not much was needed to turn this into a convertible. I cut the top off and used the boot from the 73 Cougar kit. That kit has a convertible boot even though it is only a hardtop kit. Leftover part from the 70 Cougar kit days. I changed out the front bumper for an older issue that had the bumper guards. Then added the trunk rack from the 72 Corvette kit.

Let me know what you think of this one?

The paint work on this looks stunning and so does the rest of it.

Wow! Very nice. Neat to see a '69 Cougar that is not an Eliminator.

Absolutely fantastic!!! The colors look great on it!!

Very nice looking Cougar! Paint work looks excellent!

What they said. Beautiful!

It looks like you added a black wash to the grille. That adds so much realism and is so easy to do... I'm amazed at how many people don't bother, and it makes their model looks very toy-like.

What everyone else said. Sweet!

Beautiful and I bought the 72 vette to use the luggage rack for a future 70 Cuda build. Great job and colors

I want to to do this car as the red Cougar in the Bond film

This is an AMT '69 body over a MPC '73 chassis?

[DynoMight]

Great job. The blue and the tan interior go together really good!

[cruz]

Very cool!!!

[Rob Hall]

Sharp build..like the color choices and the luggage rack.

[Danno]

Another beauty, Raoul!!!

You should show these guys your "large scale" build! That would really knock their socks off.

Nice build. Does the boot come in all '73 Cougar kits? If not, what version did you get it in?

[mangodart]

Gorgeous build !!! I built one years ago close to the one in the James Bond movie, but have to resotre it now as the paint start to peel....
