      Oh, I like that solution for carpeting over subframe connectors!

      Thanks , unfortunately I can’t take credit for this solution. One of the guys on here came up with this idea a while back. Thanks again whoever you are ! lol

      I just thought I'd give an update ...... nothing new , nothing notable anyways . I was hoping to have the seats and door panels recovered before summer but I don't know if it will happen . A little short on dollars at the moment , things haven't gone to plan this year so far . I've been thinking about selling my 88 S10 that I've had for years . 10 years ago I did the bodywork and had a local shop spray it the factory red. I also gave it the whole ridetech package. I want to start another project when the Cougar is done. If I keep the S10 , I'll probably do an LS swap , it currently has a warmed over 4.3. Anyhow, I do plan on insuring the Cougar and putting some miles on her anyway .

      I like that. I'm building a red (currently) '89, LQ4 swapped truck now. Was also considering running soft8's. Good looking truck.

      Mike, the car is looking great!
      I hadn't seen the latest progress, and I'm not sure if i had seen the finished grill.
      I really like how it turned out. First time I've noticed the flat top of the headlights, that explains your placement, and also the original look in the Challenger.

      Hope you get to drive it.

      Thanks ,
      The flat tops is what I like most about the Challenger headlights. I thought that they would look great and would work well with the Cougar , I really like the results.

      Mini tubs for Cougar

      Can you expand on the use of mini tubs for your Cougar? I haven't been able to locate wheel house replacements for my 67. Did you need to do extensive mods to make the mini tubs fit?

      Sooooo , me being the one who can't leave things alone. I decided that the engine needed a splash of colour. I thought that I'd pull the rocker covers and give them a coat of red. Low and behold I find that the oil under these covers is a creamy dark tan colour. F**k , I don't like the look of this. So I drained the oil and pulled the filter. Many years ago I blew a head gasket in my S10 , sure enough the oil was a watery mess . The oil that I was crying into today looks totally different than the oily mess from years ago. The LQ9 that I have in the Cougar is a used piece that I picked up. I checked the bearings and replaced the head gaskets along with new head bolts. I thought oil and water didn't mix, looks like it did to me. I'm going to put a new filter and oil in this thing and run a few tests . Since I put this engine back together it's only been run for an hour at the most . Your thoughts please ....

      Can it just be condensation?

      Is this a pic of the oil you drained? Or the inside surface of you valve cover? If it’s the oil I think you’ve got a problem. If it’s just the inside of your valve cover, it might be condensation, but is seems a little excessive. Do you have a PCV setup installed?

      Did you pull the oil filter? Is it milky too? I’d pressure check the cooling system for peace of mind before I drove it much.

      I pressure checked the system , all was good. I changed the oil and filter , brought it up to temp and checked the pressure again . Held steady pressure , no bubbles in the rad , oils clear and ran great . I'm putting it down to condensation .

      Sounds like you got it under control. Probably just condensation.

      It's been awhile since I posted an update . I was planning on having a pro tackle the interior but I don't have the cash for that . I decided to take care of it myself. I bought some very nice quality vinyl online and got to work. I also made a center armrest and had a local interior guy sew up a cover for it. I cover the rear panels , pretty straight forward . I had to make new door cards for the front , the old one were warped. I'm also playing with the idea of making and installing Porsche 911 inspired door pulls . Here's some bits and pieces , I'll post up finished pics when they're done.Name:  IMG_1140.jpg
