thats a real shame mate
just had a read thru and see you had made good progress but then it had stalled for awhile.
i applaud your decision to shift it on as i'm like alot of people and hang on to too many "maybe oneday" projects.
look forward to reading more about your other cars

Sad to read about your decision, you put in a lot of time on that one.
But, every once in a while you got to cut and run so another project can move forward!
We've all had to do it! Well, maybe not Jay leno... LOL..

Even Leno will eventually have to let some go! He's retiring from the tonight show, going onto a fixed(albeit huge income) But he has lots of toys to maintain, and staff to pay. I can't image what his private collection and shop cost to maintain! His mechanics are capable of fabricating any part he needs, that can't come cheap. When I was a kid they had a Museum of Fords that was being sold off because they couldn't afford the upkeep. I believe it still exists, but I think they had to sell some of the cars at one point!"

So true guys and thanks for the support this Cougar coming up is major sheet metal , actually i am thinking just clipping the whole back end will make a lot of tedious work disappear , Then the 37 a little more sheet metal but my changes in my thoughts vow are to build a strong bodied drive and not take so much into the car show build .
