Event Coverage My NSRA Tampa pics

Nads, that capri is awsome but with that interior what do you use to peel yourself off the seats in that heat!! HAHAHAHA!! Great pics by the way.

 

Thanks for the pics Nads, the Capri is looking tasty! Gonna be around for turkey day?

 

It is the downside (backside) of the material for sure, even worse is the dashboard's reflection on the windshield. When yer moving it's not so bad, it is a hardtop so air circulates pretty good but when you're creeping in traffic it's not much fun.

 

Nads...the job on the Capri is stellar......outta the park!!!!

 

Maybe.

 

Holy shit Nads, that Capri Consul turned out like butter. Looks like you and your progeny had a swell time.

You still coming to Chicago next month? Drop me a line, amigo.

 

Nice job on the Capri. Excuse my english ford ignorance, but what kinda driveline does it have?

 

Dirty.........just kidding.
It's a 1500cc 4 cylinder overhead valve engine. This one is a GT version, it has bigger valves, a header, 4 branch intake, Weber two choke carb with mechanical secondaries and I put in a Pertronix electronic ignition. It has a 4 speed all synchro gearbox and rear wheel drive with unknown gear ratio.
The original engine, which itself was replaced under warranty was a weakling 1340cc job that had a three main bearing HOLLOW crankshaft, blew up long ago, something they were prone to do.
The bottom ends are what Lotus twin cams are based on, one day I'd like to do that conversion, the parts are readily available but muy expensivo.

She runs good, keeps up with modern traffic but with 85hp it ain't no dragstrip terror.

 

Don't know yet buddy, but I will call you if I do. Should I bring a coat?

 

Probably. Or we could just hug for warmth.

PS -- don't know how much time you have but we could treat you to a grand MCM tour.

 

damn, nads has a finished car now. i wasnt sure id see that....

 

Nice work on the Capri, Nads. I remember seeing it a few years back before you really got started on it. Hopefully I will have a car to work on soon, I have a sweet 55 belair in my sights.

John told me how hot it was out there, yikes!

Oranges.

 

That Capri looks creamy like an ice cream bar....Yummy.

 

nice pics

 

Nice ride. Is the roof stock? Wow, I like it.

 

great photo of this one

 

good stuff nads...thanks for posting them up..

 

Totally stock, the whole body is stock except for a few welded seams and smoothed bumpers.

 

Great looking Capri. Love the flake.

 

I second that and I'd feel bad if I don't see you when you're in the Chicago area as well.

Have Mike call me when you arrive.

 

It's your car man. Thanks for letting me drool on it. I'm glad somebody got a shot of that blue Plymouth with the chop. That car was bad ass.

 

Great pics Nads. Wish it wasnt so hot. Finally got the cars together.....The "bigger" sister for sure! Ha Ha, Buy Her!!

 

Fuck ya Nads!! I can dig it!

 

I wish man, someone needs to buy it, it's beautiful.

 

it's rad... way to go man...

 

Shit Nads, the Capri came out good. Miles is still mental then
