Back in the day, there was this chick around here that had what looked to be a custom Monte Carlo SS.  Bigger wheels and tires, nice stance and maybe a warmed over motor, not sure.  The eye catcher, though, was the paint.  From the doors back, it was factory dark blue.  Forward was a different story.  The hood, fenders and front end were all primer, and there was a sticker or paint on one of the fenders about it being a hot rod (eg "street survivor" or something, don't remember what, exactly).

Are you planning on going 'primer' as your final paint scheme?  Semi gloss and flat finishes are so 2008 these days.

Suggestions - I'd go with slightly bigger wheels and match the entire exhaust to the size of the tips, and if you're going to talk the talk with a scheme like that, make sure the car can walk the walk.  Keeping that in mind, I do kinda like what you did with the trunk lettering.

(which im hoping to get this week, after i work a cement job with my stepdad... then, it toolin time!! but before i can drive around i at least need an h-pipe,... then s n turndowns,....if money permits,.....
And yes i want to go satin black, with a deep red(maybe gloss0 stripe,.. then i may smoke the rims like ipsd suggested, with lower pro tires and lettering.... oh, itd be sick....

I like it man. I wouldn't have chosen those rims, but I don't think they look terrible.

LOVE the "Eliminator" lettering.

Props.

hi-  what is the significance of the Eliminator lettering?    I think it would look mean with turbines.    did you do high output conversion?  is your neighbor still a pain in the ass?

Ok, you asked what we thought about the cougar and I'm going to be perfectly honest.
It looks like .
It looks like someone who doesn't know and doesn't care about anything that has to with cars has abused it badly.
And then some other owner came and even made it worse.

So yeah ... I hate it :)
Can look good if you put effort in it!

Now,that's only my opinion.We all like what we like.As with the Sport (my car),I built the car to what my vision of it stated it should be.The way I like it.That's what you have to do to your car,build it how you like it regardless of outside opinions.If you want things a certain way,but funds prevent that from happening,save the money and do it right.You'll suffer for a while during the waiting process,but be happier in the long run when the work is done as you want it.For the Eliminator badges,check Ebay,or,have some graphics made up (fairly cheap at a vinyl graphics shop.In the long run,I respect what you're doing,and encourage you to keep moving forward.Every project has to start somewhere....with an idea.Good luck.We all need that with these cars.LOL.


Well said vinnie.
