                  So cool seeing your car painted in a booth. I had mine painted back in October of 2010 and still remember that day and how it looked in the booth. A memorable moment for a car guy.

                    It's a pretty amazing time in the restoration journey!

                        Sorry for the long time no post situation.

                        I started a new job in the spring and things have been chaotic.

                        I posted a video update that shows the Cougar in its latest state (more or less) link included below.

                        Also spent some time restoring the front spring shields. The old rubber bumpers had perished, so when I took the shields off the car to install new bumpers I just decided to do the right thing and wire brush em and repaint.
