michael2938 24 Report post Posted May 11, 2015 I really like the black color of the hood. Mine hasn't turned out that good, so it is getting repainted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mach1cj 11 Report post Posted May 15, 2015 Looking good Rick. Will definitely have to keep them in mind when the time comes to paint mine. Found their website and facebook page, they have an affinity for Cougars as well it seems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mach1cj 11 Report post Posted June 27, 2015 Hey Rick, ever get the car back from the painters? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobotMan 264 Report post Posted July 7, 2015 We did get the car back from paint. We have been on vacation for a few weeks. The windshield, rear glass, headliner and other various trim parts have been assembled in the car. My son is very excited to start putting parts back on the car. It is amazing how much joy is created over something as simple as a trunk lock set. We have also refurbished and installed the hood scoop. We have gotten seat upholstery completed and just awaiting assembly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
