    It's from France, owned by a girl. Also I'd like to see any and all pictures of Capris for inspiration.

  13. These are stockers but I figured you might want them. I love those cars too bad they were rusty little devils.

    Which one, a Consul Capri or the later one? That's good to know.

    Thanks for all the pics John and metalshapes.

    I remember seeing the blue lowrider one at Ally Pally in 1979 or 1980.

    Does anyone have any pics of the Ian Rawlinson built green metalflake one he did for Tony Coe? That thing used to be in Ford dealership in Colne, I used to go look at it and drool. I heard it burned up.

    Man, you got it down, wires, twisted steel grille, most folks got it wrong, slots, white letter tires, nice.

    Did it ever get featured?

    It say Mademoiselle *****cat, not *****, but it's close.

    Yes it was featured in a mag called "Street Machine" unfortunately i don't have a copy anymore.

    The paint is Raspberry metalflake that was painted in the front drive of my parents house. I'm still finding flake in my tool box today!!!

    My first car was a 1970 Austin Healey Sprite, I painted that thing rasberry flake in my parent's garage in 1977. I was finding flake for months afterwards too. Small damn world.
    My car was hideous though, zero cl***, zero style.

    PS, I took the front bumper off to fix some rust on the car, it sure looks good without it.
