Stan, From where I'm sitting it sounds real healthy to me!!!!! looks great! Jimmy "RASS"

great looking build, you've inspired me to have a quick ebay check on any capri models

my vote for paint would be either stock lime green or orange with black vinyl roof, the orange one is the first car i fell in love with and i must have been all of 5 or 6 at the time and its stayed with me ever since

but if you go wild, HOK stands for House Of Kolor which is auto custom paint and should be easily available in NZ, its easy enuf to get in OZ so i'm guessing you should be able to get it over there, in fact heres a link to the NZ importer

Saw this baby at Summernats 24, most of the Capri's there had blown small blocks in them, this one was 100% genuine street rego'd, 4.4l Lexus v8 twin turbo, 1000+ HP, recently ran 8.3 1/4 @166MPH, and he was driving it through the drive through at KFC when i was there. . That, is a real car!!.

Lovin' your build so far too mate.
