Default BLACKHORSE - Calipers installed PICS

Well the calipers are in the process of being installed will be done later today and then to the body shop it goes. Getting a little closer to completion. I am glad i went with the yellow it gives a nice contrast to the black. Enjoy the pics.

Mike, I'm a big fan of what you have been doing with these cars, especially the engine/suspension cleaning (WOW) and paint work. However, the yellow calipers aren't doing it for me. Granted, we all mod these cars the way ~we~ like them, so it doesn't matter really what I think. But, considering you're planning on selling the car, I'm surprised you went with the yellow.

No offense intended.

Jeff:

Oh well what's the worst that could happen? I guess I would have to keep the car. The poll was so close that it really didn't matter. BTW calipers are easily changed all it takes is more money and time. No offense taken everyone has the right to do what they want to their cars.

Hey Mike -

Nice work. I personally voted for red, but like Jeff, just my opinion. Still, very much looking forward to seeing the final result.

I was definitely on the fence and just wanted to do something different. It gets boring doing the same thing all the time. I don't think it will kill the car. You know how it is if I would have done red people would have said that yellow would have been better. I do appreciate your comments though. have a good day.

Hey Mike -

I've seen some cars with yellow calipers and accents that look VERY nice. Somehow . . . I have a feeling that Blackhorse will fall into this category.

Thanks. Just think how common it would be if everyone liked the same thing. If that were the case we would all be driving Ford Taurus' And that my friend is no good.

Kiwi993 gets my avatar when Balckhorse is done, although I don't know why he would want to change it.
