Getting dragged back

[mrriggs]

I think the problem with body shops is that it doesn't take a ton of money to get the tools and materials, so it's attractive to get-rich-quick-minded individuals who don't have the necessary business sense to properly manage it.

Home from the paint shop now to finish it off

Looks good! Mirrors and door handles are the wrong color, but maybe you wanted that.

[NAVYCAT]

Handles yes, mirrors no......

Nice. 12 out of 10 from me.


It lookes svelt. Its got the ESS or ESP option pack look. The standard Fox Stang front guards work in well and the hood lookes trimed back before the addition of the gills. This is a mixture of the original dumb dumb bullet Capri and the svelt jelly mould of the aero Fords.

Im sure you've got a kind of option 54 1982 Silver European Sports Pack Fairmont Ghia mental image in your mind. If that is so, then people will constantly go "WTF is THAT?"

what a great thread! amazing work and a very well thought out project. BTW I was a gunner's mate in the 80s navy. good times!

I think it looks really sharp! Enjoy it!

I think it turned out nice also. I agree with Trey on the mirrors & door handles. I do prefer the Mustang sail panels over the Capri style. Well done though.

New paint has to feel great after looking at it in primer for so long!

Congratulations on the new color. Capri looks incredible.
