thanks for the complements. i still need to fix some things like the headliner and a light problem. and i want to get the outside rubber trim all one color again. i have to many project trucks to start another restoration so i might try and sell the cougar after winter so i can pay off my truck.


i took some interior pics

Ouch. That's seriously hot.

Welcome to the board! Could you do me a huge favor (whenever) and get the paint code from the driver's door jamb tag? The code should be printed ABOVE the 'Paint Code' letters. I'm just trying to confirm something. Thanks!

Hrmmm...how about the buck tag, is it still there? Pop open the hood and it's bolted to the radiator core support on top, by the prop rod.

I was thinking that looked like a Chevy in the garage too. If so, get that bowtie out of there and get the Cougar inside where it belongs!!
