They are very original, and I like them a lot - very cool. Although on a personal note they do seem a bit 'plain' to me.
Are you planning on adding any more detail to the instrument binnacle?
The rest of the build is gobsmacking, very well done!

Most are now networked between themselves and other lots so they should be able to find you one even if they don't have a Capri there.
TDR is making some progress in bringing this build to completion and has started working on the suspension/brakes/bushings... Not very exciting but here are some photos of the progress.

Thanks! I just got done checking out your site and as a vet I want to say 'thank you' for offering a military discount. You'll be the first place I check for any future purchases based on that alone. Means a lot to me to find vendors that support our troops.

In the interest of adding to my post count; a few updates...
Version 1 of my OCC set-up. Final version will have all black fittings and the VTA filter will be on the fender side.
On the ground; however, the suspension hasn't been 'tuned' yet. They're going to get the interior in and then corner balance, etc.
With the GV hood I'll be running hood pins so got a cooling plate that doesn't have the notch for the latch and had it powder coated to match the VC.
I got a ZOOM console; however, they don't have an arm rest so had one made. This too is a version 1/prototype. I'm going to have another shop make a better one and in the end, the notch for the petrol lid release may not be needed.
And finally, my YSCC trunk lid showed up about a week after I got the car up to TDR so never got to see it on Scrat. Had to go to Dallas for work a few weeks ago and managed to fit the lid in my DD.
That's it for now. TDR is currently working on assembling the rest of the interior as well as finishing up the last few things on the engine so they can start to focus on making it run.
