Looks great. you are a rare breed around here. I can only think of 2 other cars that were on here that had hydraulics. and there was one on bags. whats the underside look like? is it a driver or just a show car? really like the cleaness of the install

Like several of the comments here, I am not into the hydraulics, but I am into how clean it is. Wow. Very nice job on the installation, definitely first class. Welcome!

Thanks for all of the compliments on the car!  I wasn't sure how a "lowrider" Cougar would be received but as I said in one of my earlier posts this forum seems to have some quality people so thanks.  I say that because where I am from they (lowriders) aren't real common and I hear all kinds of crazy things about it.  Anyways it is easy to change the oil and a front tire as well.  If you put it all the way up like in my sig. and dump one of the rear corners you can-with alittle pull on the front fender lift the front corner off the ground no jack! It pulls a pretty good three-wheel as well.  I currently only have one partial interior shot i'll post but the interior is like brand new. It's light grey with the top part of the dash dark grey.  I have to reinstall the pumps to get it out this year and i'll get some more pics up if there is any interest.  I finished the car in 1997 so the hydros were abit more popular and I was a bit younger back then!!  Thanks again for the comments!

Oh I was going to answer as well that it's not a show car really nor is it a daily driver but could be if you have the kidneys and bladder for it!  It has only been wet twice since 1997 and that was a light wash other than that nothing.  The underside is ok has maybe a little overspray here or there and rustproofing.  The motor is all stock and probably abit dusty. I thought of building it up but lowriders just aren't suppose to be moving too fast.

Do you have any problems with the body twisting or panels not aligning since you've done that

Im not a fan of hydros, low is nice, but never liked hydros.
But that I like. Nice wheels, sweet paint, nothing gaudy and obnoxious, just enough to be noticed before you show off the hydros. Very VERY tastefully done. Like most on here not my cup of tea, but I like it alot! And wouldnt be ashamed to own it!

No I haven't had any problems with that and I was pleasantly surprised with how ridgid the cars are actually built.  The one thing that did happen if you look at the trunk shot of the hydros look at the right trunk lid hinge.  That is a paint stirer holding it up because the tension jobbies under the deck popped out and I haven't fixed them yet. I am really not too hard on it at all either.  I don't even have it so it can bounce because that is the hardest on them and probably not real good for the aluminum rims!

Nice paint job what did you use on the bottom of the car to make it look like that. I think you did a great job on that car and welcome and don't listen to all of my crazy ideas. Nice cougar i can't wait to see more mods or just more pics of it.

Thanks Carpimp--and I'll remember that!  After painting the whole car black metallic I used house of Kolor marbalizer.  It is super thin and all metallic pretty much.  You have to do one panel at a time cause it dries so fast.  You spray it on then hurry up and use something to make a pattern I used saran-wrap but you can use tons of stuff.  The next thing is pull it off and some comes off showing dark areas which is the black showing through from underneath.  If you take too long and I am talking more than 15-20 seconds most of the color or pattern will come off on the saran-wrap then you start over.  BTW..if anyone tries this there is an extra step after applying the marbalizer you must use I think it is  Sg-100 from house of kolor for the clearcoat to stick.
