New Guy from Maryland

My name is Matt Jewell. I have been registered here for a while, but haven't posted before. I am preparing to pull the 514 out of my Capri and do some updated, so thought it would be a good idea to interact with fellow racers and pass on/ exhange any info that applies. Thanks for hosting this site. P.S.- If my brother is lurking on here, get back to putting your cars together.

welcome Matt .... good luck with the overhaul and keep us updated !!!

what year Capri Matt?

Welcome to the site from a fellow Marylander!

Good to have you here from another MDer !!

Thanks, guys. It's a base model '80 Capri that is technically for my son (he's 12 now). Diamond in the rough for sure, but wanted to play with BBF/Fox chassis. Made alot of passes at Mason Dixon with the MSRA the last 2 plus years.

I have ran my TBird Quite a few times at Mason Dixon , I only live 5 miles from the track !!

Hey guy's. Been a while. Did not realize that Darrell was in Florida now a days. Welcome to the forum, some good info and interesting characters here.

Travis, it's been a while. How is the Galaxie project going?

Good to hear, get them in to it early. Got my truck just before I turned 14. The good thing is that you know where his money will be going, into that car. My truck has shaped me into a good person, without it I would be the kind of kid most of you hate...I think. But I am paying for a lot of stuff, I haven't bought anything unrelated to my truck since I got it. Kept me from making bad investments since I am doing a ground up build. Good to hear another youngster is getting in to muscle cars.
