  • On this installment we fix the rust around the rear window. We also find out the Cougar enjoyed gun fights and late nights in Mexico during its previous life.

    I got two 1967 XR-7 Cougars sitting at my house, ones finished one still needs some work! You’re inspiring me and now I kinda want to make videos about the restoration because of you! Keep it up and I would love to see how you do the brake job because I’m stuck on that. Keep it up you’re the best

    Glad I found this video...a lot of people just removing drip rails and nothing really on fixing around windows. I like the drip rails but mine are gonna take some work on my 66 mustang as well as my rear window...pretty much the same spots. But I'm gonna press with some new ideas on how to approach my problems. Thanks for posting these videos on your Cougar.

    Looks good, the vinyl tops on these cars made the rust a lot worse, I’ve seen roof panels rotted to bits from them.

      I am just completing a 5.3 swap into my '95 truck. One area I found I really like was the fabrication of small parts, braces, and brackets, exhaust etc...I suppose "new metal" is not to much of a stretch.
