JUST A LITTLE MORE!!!



I've been working hard at work and not spending much time working on the car, but I've had time to sneak in the garage here and there. I have managed to remove another 6 pounds off the car. That's 721 pounds off the car now!!! I did this by taking off the wiper motor and the assembly. In doing this I noticed a crack in the windshield. HMMMM? I guess a lexan windshield replacement is coming, now that will be some weight savings. It looks like the Capri is getting closer and closer to becoming a full out drag car. LATER...

SOMEBODY STOP ME...PLEASE





Just a quick post. I have been busy at work with the new position and have not had much time to even relax. Anyway, here is a new hauler for the Capri. Its a 1996 Chevy Silverado C3500. It has the 454 BIG BLOCK and 4L80E transmission. Its has a lowered suspension with Air Ride "air bags". I spent about 8 hours scrubbing the trucks interior. I have changed the tranny fluid,oil and spark plugs. It runs great now, but there is a small "tick" in the motor and its driving me crazy trying to figure out what it is. My wife is going to shoot me soon if I don't empty out the driveway. It was cheap I couldn't pass it up. The only thing it needs is some good LOUD exhaust. Hey, that could drowned out the "tick" I have? LATER...
