Glad to see this project is still alive. I was afraid it had turned into another build that ran out of money.
Car is SUPER clean and looking good!chunger

The car is off to the interior shop. Running and driving. "Roll Bar" is installed. Door Handles are in.
One question I have, is there anyone that makes 335/35/r19 tires? I know it is a weird size, but at one time, I think you use to be able to get this size.

Very, very nice. 1969-70 Cougars are my favorites.

Wanted to give an update. I am truly amazed how people have embraced 3D printing. Opens up some really cool things. (Again way above my expertise). Since we are moving things around in the dash board, the interior person decided to 3d print the dash. We are putting in a 7 inch Alpine touch screen. Also the gauges were custom Dakota. Dakota has some really cool things as far as LED options. As you know we call the car Top Eliminator, thus the interior guy made a custom badge to sit on the passenger side. (Like the original) Except this lights up at night with the gauges. (this is a very rough mock up, so it will be refined. The wood veneer is just a mock up also). You can also see how he printed some of side and back panels in the trunk. Lastly, we got the top on car.

I can't say I'd have picked that top to go with that yellow, but it looks fantastic.

I love the 3D printing work on the interior!
Nitto makes a 345/30-19 drag radial. Might be a good option if you want a taller tire.

Cougars usually aren't my thing but this is turning out amazing! I work in the industry and know about the 3D printing advancements but I think this car has the most 3D printing I've seen, very cool!
As for the tires, I believe Michelin may be your only option for that size in a 19.
