Cougar is getting painted! **(UPDATED PICS)** in original thread

[Smitty2430]

Here are a few pics of the coug in the shop right before paint. I am picking it up today and will have more pics up in the next few weeks once all my new stuff is put on.

Sorry for the poor resolution. The Pics were taken with a disposable camera. Enjoy!

What did you do that it needed painted?

I don't see a Wide Body Kit on there! :biggrin:

[Smitty2430]

I ran out of film to take pics of the body kit ;). Its part roush/part razzi. But I just got back from the shop and there was dust in the paint so will have to pick it up next week.

Clear Coat was coming off in spots and had rock chips and scrathes from previous owner.

Hopefully your dirt road won't mess up the new paint job. It seems to really be coming around. About how long until you are done with everything?

[Smitty2430]

The dirt road isn't too much of a problem cause I only drive 5 mph down it, but I should be off it in a year or so. I should be done installing all the exterior stuff by mid June and have it fully completed by the beginning of July. Give me a call if you want to help install stuff or just hang out sometime. My new cell number is 810 280 8304

Woo, nice man! I'm gonna head to the shop tonite and take some pics of my car in progress, as well. Things are really coming along on my end, just collecting misc parts that I overlooked now. :D

How's yers coming Smitty? Any progress pics?

I took a few pics today, but was unable to get into my server for some reason to upload them. I'll be fixing that tonite from home, however. Most of my parts are now molded on, and the car is about ready for primer and block-sanding. We've just got a few "custom bits" to complete prior to that, and we'll be knocking those out tomorrow and Sunday.

I also got a chance to spray a soda can with my paint, and seriously, the pic I took doesn't do the color justice. Lambo paint is expensive, but damn does it look pretty. The cam I used is crap, and can't hardly pick up the details in the paint, and barely picks up the color change that occurs in the sun.

Once my server is back online, I'll get some pics up for ya'll to check out.

is it gonna be done for fest?

are u caravaning with anyone yet?

[puma1]

I dont even know if there are plans for the caravan to fest... me and smitty are thinking 69W to 69S through lansing and striaght into indy.

[Smitty2430]

I should be able to pick up the car Monday and should have more pics in a week. Everything will be done for Fest! More mods will come next year but the major stuff will done this year. Like Puma said, I dont think there are any set plans for caravaning but I would like to caravan with as many cougars as possible.

[Smitty2430]

Picked up he car last night and it looks great. I have to go back to the shop on friday to to get a few spots wet sanded down but still looks awesome. Puma and I put on the razzi spoiler last night, but body kit cant go on till I get my tips moved to fit the Roush rear.

More pics to come in a week or so.

Well, I got some pics uploaded of my car in progress (along with a bunch of other galleries I'm working on filling up from our shop photos). It's coming along nicely, and really looks hot with the skirts on the car (the flares mate up there great, and will be molded in nicely).

Lotsa little trick things getting done, and the hood arrives on Monday -- just in time for me to drive the car over for the install of a ton of parts. Then back to the shop for paint. :D I can't wait.

[Smitty2430]

Updated pics in first post.

[Jorgen]

Car looks great...

But just so you know I now hate you for making me scan to the bottom of the posts and then just having to scan back up to the top (yes I am that lazy) for the pictures.

[MaverickFlyer]

Looks good! What front lip is that?

[Smitty2430]

Front Lip is Razzi.

More pics of the interior to come in a few weeks. Painting dash and fiberglass door inserts
