Another year end upon us already

First off I apologize for not keeping everyone up to date on where we are in the build.
Life takes over blink and another year gone.
Some great news we have the car registered at World of Wheels March 15,16,17, 2018.
Last time I posted we doing some finishing to get ready for paint, however ran into more unforeseen issues to rectify but with those behind us we move forward to paint.
I am trying to keep the finishing pictures until ready for the show, but I will sneak in some fender and hood shots early in the new year.
Thank you for following it is crazy to think that someone on the other side of the world gets to check this out we are all car crazy!
Hope you  have a safe and happy holiday.
Don’t drink and drive!

Getting ready for paint

Now that all the fabrication work is complete it is time to get ready for paint.
I thought all the hard work was done boy was I wrong!
Picking the right colour is a huge challenge. However early this week Danny from Chase Autobody brought down the paint sample I picked and it looks unbelievable. I can't wait to put the sample on the car later this week to see how it might look.
I know I'm jumping ahead already but I started going through the inventory of all the interior parts I have and putting it together in my mind, can't wait to start.
Here is a sneak peak of what it looked like before getting ready to paint.

Work in progress

The final welds are not that far away. The newly fabricated modifications are in place and look great.

I know it has been a long road but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. 

With this year being the 50th anniversary of the Cougar we are trying without cutting corners to get ready for the upcoming car shows. I know I have not posted a picture lately so I will post one today that was taken last year this will give you a hint of what it is going to look like.
