I finally scanned some of my early pictures. Here is a front view of the Hooper soon after getting it home and into the garage. Notice the five star bar in the front grill. This was added in place of the original Hooper chrome bar at some point in the past.
And the Hooper interior with its cream leather buckets seats with maroon piping. The door cards were also covered in leather with a small strip of carpet section along the bottom. Also notice the considerably different dash board. The original Ford dials were replaced by Hoopers with a walnut panel housing the round smiths guages and other switches. I’ll talk about the Hooper modifications in a future post here.
Well looking back on these pictures now, the capri looks pretty good but believe me, it was all looks. Wait til you see some of the later pictures when I started stripping it down…
