A Threesome With Cougars...
Fnarr...
With my office gradually being taken over by vintage Schumacher bits and my racing exploits beginning to show on the joint bank account, it is time to start making this hobby pay its way. I already have a Procat nearly ready to be sold on as seen in this thread, so now it's time to get some Cougars built up. I will build up three at the same time with two immediately going for sale and the other one I am hoping to hold onto as a semi-shelf queen.
So first thing is to introduce you to the three contestants. For reference purposes we will call the left Chassis A, the middle Chassis B and the right Chassis C:
Chassis A likes to be stripped and polished and rebuilt to C1 specification with all black parts:
Chassis B prefers to be delicately cleansed maintaining the silver anodised finish and then rebuilt into standard C2 spec with a great shell from one of my previous purchases:
Chassis C is a bit of a diva. With no additional holes and a natural shine, this one is a prime candidate for full-on polishing and a rebuild to C1 spec with period hop-ups. An alloy front shock tower beckons along with an MMS diff and layshaft.
Stay tuned for progress...

Re: A Threesome With Cougars...
Chassis A is coming up well after a couple of sessions with oven cleaner and a scourer:
I had previously sanded the bottom of the chassis to remove many of the scratches. Hopefully get chance to go at it with some wet'n'dry this afternoon and see how it looks then.

Re: A Threesome With Cougars...
Chassis A is now all cleaned up with a light polish ready for building.
So it's gone from this:
To this:
I could have got a better finish but with so many additional holes in it there really isn't a lot of point.

Re: A Threesome With Cougars...
looking forward to seeing them finished... might have to reconsider my idea of getting a TT Phoenix in case one of these ends up being in my price-range (not likely though)
