lol. Yeaup. I got the wheels from my last super coupe some where (the ones on my 1:1)


I completly scratchbuilt an exhaust system. The H-Pipe foward is from an 88 Mustang GT 1:24 scale, so the pipes are a little bit bigger in 1:25, so their about 3", compared to the stock single exhaust 2.25" The pieces i used for the pipes are from left over sprue's/trees. I heated them up, then bent them. I notched out the gas tank so i could fit the pipes between it, then put on tin foil to make it look like a heat shield.


This is the hood i might use. Im not sure yet though, since everything else exterior wise (except painted head light housings and cc's) is stock. Still a lot more sanding.

Re: 1992 Mercury Cougar

got some work done on it. The back windows didnt fit at all. The back and sides were all molded as one piece, and wouldnt fit as one piece, so i had to cut it. When i cut it it all cracked, so im gonna put some decals over the cracks..

I weathered it a bit, and blackwashed virtually everything.

the decals: TCCoA, BBK, Art Carr, MN12 Performance, mercurycougar.net
