A BIG HINT
Oh yeah! Are you starting to figure it out yet? I still have a ways to go and a few more hints to drop you, but I think these photos will give you a big hint. I remember when I was a young man and would attempt to "clean" things up. I basically would grab spray paint and start shooting. How wrong was I? It definitely pays to prep your stuff before painting. Clean it, scuff it, clean it again, prime it, tack it, and then shoot your color. It really doesn't take that much more time and you really get a better look.

SNEEK PEEK
Two posts in a row. I must be going crazy. I've got the bug again and I've been working late into the night working on the Capri. I figured over the next several weeks, I'll tease everyone with small photos of what will help launch the Capri down the track next season. The "M" in the center of the photo is a hint, as well as the extra long wheel studs. Those folks that know drag racing parts have already figured it out I'm sure. LATER...
ENGINEERS ARE DUMB
Yeah, I said it. The designers at Ford/Mercury are a bunch of retards. It takes a spring compressor, cutting wheel, breaker bar, pry bar, and a human body who's hands resemble ground chuck. Are you serious? I never ever want to change the front springs in a fox-body ever again and I'm not done. That was just one side. I will tackle the other side soon. I need to recover first. Well, I better get the performance that is claimed or I am going to be pissed!!! I installed drag springs, drag shocks (90/10) and new brake lines. The purpose of the springs and shocks are to transfer the weight to the rear of the car at "take-off" and the settle the front end back down quickly, so that you can boogie your way down the track more efficiently. Claims are .2 to .4. we shall see. LATER...
