Post 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.

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 I am painting currently the body so I will do it later.
