Very nice! That's a good subject too, interesting choice. Engine is spot on, nice to see a coil lead!

Very nice. Much batter than mine.

Thanks Bill! Painting that yellow was really a learning curve!

Nice! Nearly like on the box😉 I brought this kit from Florida in 1997 - my first vacation in the US. It is still untouched *lol*

But why is there a sticker "BOSS 302" on the fender? That confuses me somehow.

Offered solely as a hardtop, the Eliminator was offered with all available Cougar engines, with the 351 Cleveland as the standard engine. As a running change during 1969, the Boss 302 engine (shared with the namesake Mustang) was added as an option; the engine was offered exclusively with the Eliminator.

How interesting is that! When I read BOSS, it belongs to Ford Mustang. Never connected it to a Eleminator (I know: Mercury is Fordcompany somehow)
Nice little detail!

It just occurred to me that with car kits, one might perhaps find the wheels to be something one might customize, I wonder how difficult it would be. I am ofc assuming that most cars don't always have the same type of tires and rims.

Ah, this model of yours makes me want to build car kits even more.

Thanks guys.
@Christian W: Boss 302 is the name of the engine used, not the name of the car.
