Thinking outside the box, lol. I'm putting my plastic welder to much use as well.  Looks good, and you may have to break out the late 60's Cougar emblems, too. :D

Not my cat, it's Mikkel's old car. I got more progress on it done today, all i gotta do is give it a good paint job and she's good to go. I think it turned out pretty great.

I just completed it. I decided to post it before CJ after all. There's been a lot of people who have been dropping out so I figured, why not.

wow... IMO that makes me like the 4 eyed aero a bit more.  the whole reason i didnt like the 4 eyes was the header panel, which you sir, have fixed.  i really want to see this car in the sun etc.

Here's a slightly different angle, Sorry for the py and garage lighting pictures, the iPhone wasn't cooperating and the car's still on jack stands from a clutch swap, Not to mention the entire thing is still dirty and dusty, oh well, I promise to get better pics as soon as I can (or whatever people take at Cat Jam)

Looks great and thanks for posting before and after pictures turned out a little better that i thought but if your gonna do something like that i am sure you knew what you where doing for the most part and knew it would turn out just fine or better than stock.

Capri, hmm....yes.  At first I was thinking a 1998 crown vic (with the headlight covers), but yeah.

I think you need the cat emblem on it somewhere in front.
Or, mabe the cougar or merc. badges on the bumper

I thought about that, I actually even have a NOS emblem for an 87-88, but then I thought nah, that would be the obvious thing to do, now what i might do is actually put the mercury emblem back in the bottom right corner, if anything.

I wonder what it would look like with a black grille, sort of like a cop car's...

Looks good, The grill just looks huge now, I like our little divides we have between the grill and the headlight buckets. thats just me though. I think the Merc emblem would look awesome on there. I was going to put it on my new grille but never got around to polishing it up.

Very nice.
Very original.

I don't think it needs an emblem on it....

Post by: HAVI on July 11, 2008, 05:00:13 PM
I'd consider late 60's Cougar emblems on the fenders and call it good.  The whole front without emblems speaks for itself in volumes, awesome!!!
Title: Custom Header panel - Outside pic Page 3
Post by: cougrrr302 on July 12, 2008, 03:03:25 AM
That is awesome! Definetly shows off the lines on the hood. Almost looks like a 1" cowl or something. That is awesome!

And just so there's some original content in this post...
I'd be interested in seeing it w/out the headlight covers.  Where'd you source the grill?
