Project Metal Cat.
 

Well this is a project I have had in the past I just never really finished it due to the poor experience I had. The body is a Cougar 1969 it was originally a four seat ca but am trying to make it a two seat and a custom roll over bar as well as a custom sound system. I will update it every now and then so check in soon. The first thing I did was cut the back seats and make holes on the sides for the mufflers pipes like a dragster look , I will post pic. Of this and some of the pieces I will use like the motor and such enjoy.

welcoem to XMS!! read the rules and have fun. good luck with your project!

lookin good so far! i hope you dont plan on using testors to paint it!

also looks pretty long. going to require a custom chassis?

looks like a fun build. Have a paint sceme in mind yet.

Of couse not I will use probly rattle can or air brush if I can get my hands on one, as for the paint well give me ideas felas. Lates.

that thing has a pretty sweet body line to it, would make for an awesome 2tone paint job.

I hope you plan to lower that rear end more.

excuse the 1 minute crappy photoshop. But this is the paint scheme i would go with. But it needs a center divider i think, just not sure what color yet, but here ya go.

Good bro just like what I plan to use, probly will paint it some time next week or so.

divide it with a purple pinstrip. that would look so sick.

i love what you did with the motor. thats pretty cool.

Well yeah but that would look like a rainbow, Lol:p

Thanks bro it was kind of a pain in the neck to cut and paint and make it fit. I still have to finish it though:roll_eye: I am painting currently the body so I will do it later.

its looking good, is it gonna stay convertible or are you going to build a roof?
BTW fireworks own photoshop lol

Of course not It was stock with a roof, I cut it out and made it convertible and I'm loving it like that.
