    If they can put a 67 Cougar front end on a 67 Falcon sedan, then it would work for a 67 Falcon wagon too.

    Are the inboard taillights from a Matador? I give him credit for pulling it off in Thailand. I wonder what had to be done to make the Cougar front end parts work on the car.

    It's interesting. I have to give them an A for effort. Honestly, you would think the conversion to the Cougar taillights wouldn't be much more complicated.

    Actually, using real '67/'68 Cougar tail lights on this would have been more difficult. The added inner round lights are actually mounted on the trunk lid, not the rear body panel. To use the Cougar lights, you would have to cut them in two pieces somehow, then make 'caps' for the open ends. Then you would have to modify the spaces where they would go......

    You make a valid point Marshall. I would have just altered the trunk lid.
