92 Cougar with custom hood and flip paint. WIP.

[jdmhotrod]

i dont think i made a in-progress thread on this model before so here it is. it is revells new 92 couger xr-7, the cowl hood is a bit off to the left but ohh well, i blackwashed the grille and it will have 19 inch scaras. the paint is a mix bettween plasti-kote light blue and about 6 mist coats of krylon gold to purple flip paint, so now it flip bettween blue purple and gold. im not sure on the half rag or not, what do you think? hope you like it.

i like the hood, i just think that it is a little to high. and as far as the rag goes, id say no, because it doesnt go with the color of the body, my opinion

[jdmhotrod]

well the cowl is supoused to be high cuz theres a big block 502 tpi going under the hood.

[PRIVATEER]

ummm......I maybe thinking of something else,but isn't the 502 tpi a Chevy engine???

[pre98zetec]

Yes it is, and a Chevy motor in a Ford is wrong..

[mn80228]

I agree with the Chevy motor in a Ford as well.

Plus a cowl hood for a 502 TPI?
I big block TPI would fit under the normal hood the same a 5.0 EFI would....

I DO like the rag top. Kind of a old school look.

Sweet hood and paint.
I look forward to seeing more.

Cool to see another one of these in progress!! I might finish mine one day; maybe not.

looks like a cool project, i dont know about that chevy motor in a ford thing

[jdmhotrod]

yea im gonna have to drop the 502 as it still wont fit, im sticking with the kit 302 but unsted of the efi i will go with a high rise intake with a carb and round air cleaner to fill up that cowl. it will also get new exaust with no muffelers,lol. as for all of you talking about it being wrong to put a chevy engine in a ford, first of all: you should be worrying about me putting a v-tec in a ford more then a chevy engine as you all import nuts anyway,lol j/k. second of all: it is JUST A MODEL.

[jdmhotrod]

this project has to go on hold untill i can get a new window, can a mod delete this thread as it will be a while before i start back on this project.
