Default I finally painted my Calipers... + a couple other things...

I had time to work on my car over the weekend...

Painted the Calipers and rotors... also painted unpainted stuff under the car... and painted the exposed parts in the fenders with "Rubber" paint.

Painted my Valve Covers...

Stainless braided hose dress..

Build a battery box.. ( first attempt with my new box & ban bender).

Built new brackets for my shaker to make it sit the way I wanted it to (was crooked and off center)

If I had to guess... It would be to match the engines of our past... I think Ford has always had a fancy with painting their blocks and such blue.

Prof: As always another classy mod on your girl. I thought about going with the chrome valve covers, but I really didn't want to rip out all the crap to get at them. [:'(] Was it a pain in the **** to pull them?

I painted my calipers red a couple of months ago, they look just like yours.

Where did you get the "mustang" and horse to put on your calipers?

Thanks,

Is there any other blue than "Ford Blue"??
