I already cut up a Thunderbolt kit. The hood is already cut out of the Merc and it is wearing T bolt decals I did not have a photo of it that way yet and it's put away.
I wanted to use the Fairlane interior, but my memory tells me the dash fit was really bad.

It will probably never be on a table where rivet counters will get to molest it .
I have several other projects sitting here that need attention also before it. I wanted Frank to see that I had the same idea and had already started over four years ago.

I do want it in the done pile. But I do like your suggestion and will open the Cougar kit and have a look see. It could end up under one of the Rancheros I have sitting here. Or I could stick the Ranchero on a T bolt. There are Falcons living here also. Or I could build something out of box,,,,,,,,
