1967 Mercury Cougar V8 Interceptor Paint & Body Work & Reassembly - Stacey David's Gearz S7 E8

The V8 Interceptor is BACK and wearing a striking coat of glossy black paint! How did it happen? Well, Stacey walks you through the process and shows off the incredible paint and body work that was done by the Hot Rod Institute. From the subtle body nips and tucks, to the major fabrication of a new roof, this classic Cougar now has a straighter body than anything that may have rolled off the assembly line in 1967! But the paint is only half the story, as Stacey starts to re-assemble the car with bumpers, lights and engine, you start to get a good look at what is rapidly becoming the ultimate street predator!

These guys did a super awesome job on the V8 Interceptor, they should be very proud of themselves

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

I have NEVER seen a more beautiful engine and the car looks gorgeous

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

I love the classic black/chrome engine compartment. Nothing goes better with black than chrome

The V-8 Interceptor looks like a jewelry box holding a fine gold and platinum piece of jewelry. What a machine.

I love how those pipes fit against the car, very original idea and very sharp

@@joeschlotthauer840 you have the right to not watch it. I'm glad it's here.

Nice to see what the rich people do. The Kasse engine costs more than I have ever spent on all my hotrods.

Only two things I would have done differently: 1) Paint the calipers to match the block 2) Run stealth dumps after the mufflers so you don't have a second set of tips running out the back. I always thought having both side and rear tips was a weird look That aside, gorgeous car. Have always loved these Cougars and it's cool to seen one done up with a big budget.

Before West Coast cougar was a thing I used to rebuild those headlights and keep them adjusted yes there was an adjustment for the door to open and close they used to have a kit through Ford where you could replace the diaphragm in the canisters and I used to work on the rear tail lights I had all of that knowledge in my head and I was one of two people that knew how the sequential tail lights worked and properly in the City of St Louis

[@gene2200]

I want that gold transmission case. It would make a great stand for the chalk bowl in my home gym.
