    Yes the Cougar made it into a couple of mags and look for the truck in next months Classic Trucks magazine. They both came out pretty nice but the best part was how they drove. The truck has a fuel injected 4.6 mod motor that I swiped from a 94 Cougar, Jaguar XJ12 front clip and I made a four link/coil-over rear suspension. It really is a fantastic driver, 80 mph and one hand on the wheel all day yet it could carve up the canyon roads like crazy! The Cougar I wish I still had. Wow, what a fun car. That 351W ended up putting just over 400 HP to the wheels and I did some tricky stuff to the rear suspension to make it extra fun! I sold both in order to make my dream car, this Maverick project, and open my own shop but it's a struggle. I'm still learning every day and barely surviving but love this stuff so much.

    I love that 54, I have a 55 and a 56 that are some day projects, actually I have alot of some day projects too many but it is hard to let them go. Of all the effies the 54 grill is my favorite but I like it best in chrome. There is so much surface area there that they just sparkle. Those are beautiful autos and you do awesome work.
