Default [VIDEOS] Cappy's Bionic Yellow Monster!

Here's 3 clips of Cappys yellow 81, the first is a nice burnout, second is the launch and 1st half of the 1/4 mile run and the third is the last half of the run. I tried converting all of them back into digital video and putting it all into one movie but I couldn't get the sound to play for some reason so you'll have to watch all 3. Cappy has one bad-azz Vette, Enjoy!

I'm not big on after market moldings but your car makes em work. Most be the yellow paint and sweet rims. Looks great and glad to hear it is as fast as it looks. :cheers:

Also love that pic in front of the waterfalls! :yesnod:

Cappy,

Is that the "stock" cam that came with the 415 from Hardcore? Man that sounds great. What's the idle set at? Are you using a vacuum reservoir for the brakes?

:cheers:

jdunne,
The Beck Racing 383 Max Velocity Plus is now sitting on an engine stand waiting for a tear down....I'm pretty sure it's the piston pin elongated in the piston....I'll know when I get down in there.....I'm going to install the Bill Mitchell HardCore Racing Rotating Assembly in the Summit Racing Catalog....It's internally balanced and all Forged.
Maurice,
I can't race right now...prep'ing car for the Blaisedell Car Show Thur-Fri-Sat-Sun....Then car goes back up on the rack for new U-joints....This engine ate the new Brute Force ones up. :seeya Thanks for all the compliments guys.....It really makes it all worth while to see good things about my car....Since everytime I turn around something else wants to be fixed up or repaired.... :seeya Cappy
