1970 Cougar XR7 convertible repaint and much more . . .

I believe Mercury used the name Dark Ivy Green metallic on the same green as Ford named Black Jade. It is not a fancy color but still one of my favorites for these years, at least together with the brown interior.



Anyway, I have some new pictures. I’ve been kind of slow because I have other projects going at the same time, but at least I’ve been able to make a little progress. IO got the doors done and fenders are on their way. I also removed the top from the car to avoid any over spray and damage to the new top. That will also give me access to all the areas that had been painted gold metallic from factory and the color change to green will be more complete.
