Great site, been visiting it for some time and just registered. Thought I'd share a couple pics of my cougar with you since I enjoy the pics of all your rides. I painted this car for a friend about 10 years ago and just recently aquired it from him. It's getting a little rough around the edges but still looks good going down the road.
Hey that looks pretty darn good, if I do say so myself. Especially for a ten year old paint job. A set of Cobra Rs would really spice things up. xD Welcome to the site. :D
lliking the painted grill
that is hot!!!!
if I see you I may be forced to carjack you.
Wow that paint looks like mine in the sunlight
electron blue or viper blue?
nice, and that painted grill and headlight surrounds really does look good.
It is viper blue, it also has painted headlamp covers but the velcro that holds them on needs replaced. Cobra r's would look good on there if anyone wants to donate a set. I had the rims and tires from my 85 tbird (long term project car) just sitting there so on they went.
G.T. 351 eh? Does it have a 351? If it does I think you're going to need some fatter tires or pretty soon ya won't have any rear tires.
I thought that was viper blue. I liked it to. Can you tell ;)
The friend I aquired it from had a 351 in it, and then he had the side stripes put on. Then he had a 393 in it. But he sold the 393 to fund other projects and then it sat for quit some time until now. It currently has a tired 302 in it with an aod. Maybe by next spring I'll have my 289 and t-5 setup ready.
go six,
Very sweet car! Kinda the Shelby Cougar they never built, huh? Hey, nobody else said anything or noticed, but I caught the '85/'86 taillights. Dumb question, but are they functional? I've heard it's not an easy project to convert an '83/'84.
Hey, with a 289, it'll really be a Shelby GT350 clone. Any chance it's a K-code?

I must say that I actually like the look of the 8 holes with your paint scheme. Very nice!
If by functional you mean do they light up, yes. The hole for the most inside bulb needed to be elongated and a few new holes for the mounting studs are required, not all the studs from the 85 lights are being used, I think four on each light. I don't remember but I think the 84 harness works.
