Looks great. Is there a bit more metal flake in the new paint than the factory paint? It looks good. I've noticed that most modern paints have much more metal flake than the 26 year old stuff on my Thunderbird. It makes it pop more, especially in the sun.

Mine doesn't have as much as I would have liked. This one sure looks good though!

The trim is lookin' shagy!!

Is it wrong that every morning when I get to work, the first thing I do is run my had down the side of the Cougar? It's just soooo smooth!

New door handles just came in!

This weekend killed me, temps in the 60's and didn't have the Cougar to drive.

Thanks Vinnie.I already have a new headliner and carpet in it. Going to redo the panels myself. The biggest expense is going to be the seats. Shopping around now for a reasonable but good upholstery place. At first I was going with an all black interior, but then I thought about black and tan. Just sold my mom a 2014 Fusion and her interior is black and tan, so I think I am going to copy that a bit and make it look like an updated Ford interior.

I was wanting to have my Sport seats recovered and all of that, but , the whole job, in this area, is $1100 for the front and rear. Not sure which direction I'm going quite yet. Working on other things til I can decide. Waiting for the new trunk struts to get here now.
