thats nice ive only seen one cougar low before(besides the new compacts) and it was a mn-12. Quality shows and is very aparent in this car. have you tried to get in lowrider mag. ive seen some impalas that look like  compared to this but they had the whole underneth finished. is yours detailed to that extent?


this winter ill start on the chrome "undies" im living in wisconsin now and had a hard time finding a good chrome plater,some of the work i seen out here that they call chrome looked like hell! nickel shadows all over the place:giggle: ,and the shipping will kill ya after the chrome guy gets done with ya!  and my car has been in a few magazines,but not lowrider:mad:  it seems like all they do photo's of are big body caddi's g body's and impalas.... alot of peaple have written them (ralph fuentes) and complained about seeing the same body style cars.. so well see, it will be making its 1st lowrider magazine apppearance next year in indianapolis.

any strut tower brace for a fox body mustang will work depending on what motor you have, iv used the BBK ones and one now one from Maximum Motorsports, and i have a v8. if yours is an 84 you probley have a big air filter on top so im not sure if they will fit your app without modifying it much, but it should. hopefully somebody hear with a carbed car with strut tower brace will chime in.

i have seen an import, honde accord i think a few years ago that was on some 17 or 18'' but this is just from memory. i have the mag some where at home and i think it might of been bagged. your car is much more original than all the are big body caddis, g bodys and impalas but they defenatly not about original cars.

Not my style of car, but it looks like you put loads of work into it, and it's nice to see something different.  I like the engraving on the window too!  Nice work.

I don't know about him being the first, i had hydraulics on my bird about a year ago.  It wasn't nice like his but it functioned.  Until the oil that the pumps leaked caught on fire in my trunk and forced me to remove them.

And i remember everyone saying that my spokes looked like !  It's not fair that his rawk and mine don't!  For the record i'm back to steal rims now because i'm a weakw who listens to other peoples opinions.  end rant. 

But yes, i do love your car.  And i love the interior.  Do you have any alignment issues of speeds around 65?  Mine wabbled, and then i changed to the steal rims and it didn't.  I was thinking my spokes were the problem.

blu: i didn't like them with the look or your car, just not a match visually. where the 13's with the spoke and the lowered car "fit" as a matched style.
but it's your car and if you like it, thats what matters, if you followed everyones opinions, you'd be driving a mustang with a 306/331 with edelbrok or flowmatster parts on it.

cof:
more pics.. have any more of the interior? system? engine bay?
keep em coming. lowriders aren't my thing, but that is good work on it, and I can appreciate it.

hey thanks

I just want you to know, I have always hated lowriders. However, I really like yours. You have put alot of time, and I suspect money into that car.

Blue, I think I was one of the people that said I really didn't like yours. And that is true. Only thing I didnt like was the rims. Not trying to be mean or anything. You can flame me or something.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
