Paul, since your's is a xr-7, the interior panels won't fit from a base model Cougar. The little quarter window just behind the door glass is differant between the xr-7's and base models, which in turn makes the interior panels differant, and they won't interchange because of the differance in the size and angle of that 1/4 window, and I'm not talking about the opra windows. The xr-7's have a one piece interior trim panel and the base models have a two piece. One of these days I going to take pics of both quarter windows, so everyone knows the differance. You don't notice it looking at seperate pics of both cars, you need them side by side to see the differance. Yep, it's going to be my everyday driver, so I don't really care that much how nice the paint came out, it's a nice 10 footer, and a desent 5 footer. I figure in 5 years I'll sand it and reshot it with another coat to freshen it up. I'd love to put the plain steel white letter back on, but the are below 1/4 tread left. Maybe in the future I'll get a set, or if someone hits me with a low ball offer on my White Cougar, I'll let it go with the used tires and keep the new white letter ones. Talk to ya later, E.J.
