Default BLACKHORSE - Poll - Red or Yellow calipers

I am deciding on what color to do the calipers. I did Red with white decals on Old Yeller. I thought that yellow calipers with black decals would look good on Blackhorse. Any opinions?

Yellow with black would look really nice on the black cab...

My sentiments exactly. BTW I used to live in Terre Haute. Went to St. Pats and lived off Poplar street near Demming Park. Had many fun times in the park throwing snowballs at the passing trains. I was a little guy back then.

Mike -

Considering you are "creating" the car to sell, I wouldn't wander too far outside the box so to speak. Yellow calipers on a triple black cab would be enough for me to walk away and look for another car.

Just my 1/50th of a dollar.

How about black calipers with silver decals?
I'm partial to red. Have no idea why.

that is kind of whats on it now. I really don't want to totally copy Old Yeller that is why i may do Yellow. the poll is abot 50/50 right now. We wouldn't want a twin to Old Yeller in the same city would we. Although they will look pretty close.

Mike,
I would go with your gut on this one.
If the yellow calipers turn buyers away you are stuck with the car to drive all summer. Bummer MATE!

People would say those are for the C4 only

Kiwi993:

Maybe that is what i should do. helll I never drive them after I am done. You put more miles on Old Yeller when you did the test drive than I did when I owned it.

I like the Reds with Black, but also the Silver Calipers on the Black car look SWEET.

If it doesn't sell I will be driving it for sure. I have an awesome set of factory hard back sport seats just itching to be put in. It's really not about making money on the car. the amount of hours spent on these negates any profit if you count the time. For some reason when they are done I start looking for another project. My wife calls me a freak so I must be doing something right.

In fact, the silver calipers were stock on the C4's, so I'm a bit partial (please excuse the previous SUV right height) :
