Description
Today we're rescuing an otherwise beautiful Hot Wheels Redline Custom Cougar with one seriously damaged fender.
The rest of this car is remarkably clean, so rather than disturb the whole casting, I concentrated the repair on the corroded corner using multiple rounds of zinc plating and sanding. Once the body was ready, I gave it a deep purple Spectra Flame paint job and added a textured black vinyl top.
I decided to keep the original Redline wheels, untouched interior, and replace the cracked windshield. The result is one seriously flashy Cougar.
Should I keep the original wheels or swap them out?
