Their isn't one area on this ride that is not customized or perfected. From shaved handles, trim and moldings to shaved drip rails and widened body. I guess for us to some up this Cougar restoration customization project we would have to say. Low, Mean , Wide and loud. We are going to take a trip back in time from our Middlefield Ct restoration shop and time travel to Ford Motor Companies design department in late 60's and inject 10 ton's of Viagra, Testosterone and steroids into this ride.

From the last time we updated Johns Cougar you could see the welded holes for the top moldings, shaved door handles, etc. Since then we have done a bit more body work and flush mounted the back window. As you can see in the photos below the flush mounted glass fits in perfectly for a nice smooth look to the vehicle. (The glass is just in there for a test to make sure its the right size and fits snug. It will be fitted in and sealed soon)
