Unfortunately I have run into a couple of problems.
I can not build the Cougar as I want now. I have a special "classic car" license plate which will expire next year.If I take a pro-touring beast in the front of the judges they will kick my ass and I will loose this special license for sure. I tried to find the way all the summer here in Hungary to get a " normal " license plate which is allow some modification but it is impossible for this old car.
So what I am doing now is to build the car to the original 1969 specs and I will renew this license in january. Once I get it ,it will give me another 5 or 10 years for using this special license and I can continue the project.
So nothing really good news or progress
I wanted to sell/trade the car because I was really fed up with everything in september but finally I did not sell but bought a 68 Mustang a few weeks ago
My wife was not happy at all

I have no plan for the Mustang yet but I am focusing on the new DSE Mustang stuff and coyote.

No idea how I missed this thread. I love seeing different model cars getting built. The Cougar fits right into that category. Sorry to hear about the hurdles you are facing with licensing the car. Best of luck to you on building the car. No matter which direction you take it I'm sure it will be great.

In a couple of months everything will be on the right way

I got a set of "oldschool" Sparco Crimson in 17x8 and 17x9 size.
I think it will be ok until I got some serious wheels.
I just painted temporary flat black before sand blast.
I want to powdercoat the rim gloss black and flat black the center.
