wrecker388 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 OK, here is my Cougar. The cage is scratchbuilt from 1/16 Evergreen tubing. Wheels and tires are from Monogram's 55 F-100 Street Rod. The decals on the rear window are from a NASCAR kit and Roscoe's Monaco. The body paint is Dupli-Color gloss Black and because it blushed on top, it gave the car the typical peeling 90s beater look. The front bumper is primer and the hood is Dupli-color Graphite Grey Metallic. The Maroon interior really gives the car a 90s look as i don't think I've seen a vehicle newer than like 99 with a burgundy interior. I went for a built in a LKQ yard type look and think I hit it pretty well. The kit is virtually box stock, I had to modify the front wheel backs a little bit. The worst part of the build was when one of the front wheel backs decided to go MIA for about an hour and screw with me. I still need to make some license plates for the front and rear.All comments welcome.
bill_67 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Good job, looking forward to seeing it at the starting line.
Jantrix Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I'd call that a sleeper for sure. Nice work.
wrecker388 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks guys! I instantly thought of this thing when the idea of sleepers was mentioned due to the "90s Granny-car" look it had going on.
hjracing Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Looks like a great contender! The paint make it more sleeper look.
