      Nice rides Andreas! I`m always suprised at how many people in Sweden are into American cars (and trucks!). We`ve been sending orders to Sweden almost every week lately. Amazing. I`m impressed with how well many of you speak and write in English too! I took Spanish for years in school and all I can say is something like

      Welcome, I like what you have done with your Caprice--it is very different and interesting. I have always wanted to build one like yours, ever since I was a kid and we used to ride around in my dad's bone-stock Caprice. I always thought it would be cool to build one into a "sleeper" with a big-block and stomp ricers with it...how cool would that be?

      Hello Marcus .

      Thanks for your good grades

      In Sweden atleast 40-50% of all car enthusiasts are in too American rides and the most of them are people thats have a good economy,becuase most US cars are very expensive in Sweden if we compare to other cars.
      When you attend school in Sweden we have five basic topics ,that is Swedish,English ,History,Religion,and Mathematics,and i think thats why we can write and speak English pretty decent .

      Greetings Andréas

      That Caprice sits nice. It will definitely be a sleeper. The TBird is great. She looks really good in the back too (I normally don't like the rears of the Tbirds)!

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      I have some new plans ....I was thinking of building Twin turbos on a 350,but now i have found a Caddy 500 and maybe i am going to TT the old Caddy ;) ? Or is it a bad idea ?

      Has anyone some specs on a Cadillac 500 engine?

      Nice cars you have there Andreas,and like your plans for the Caprice. .I am one of those who likes big cars from the seventies and eighties and the Caprice look really good as it is.

      It sits a little lower than stock.Is it lowered with grinder or have you bought new springs?

      I think you should go for turbo the 350,because it can be built stronger for less money.Cadillac engines are costly to buy parts for and they are probably not bulit strong enough for turboing..Big block Chevy would be better i think if you want cubic inches .

      Btw i am living 120 km from Taernaby in sweden.You know that place?I live over the border,in norway in a place called Mo i Rana.We have a race track here too,called Arctic circle raceway.Stcc has been run here in 1999 2000 2001.

      And i like your winter ride.I have 2 of them myself.

      Greetings...Arild..
