Well, I DO like black wheels. Or more accurately, shiney silver, covered w transparent black laquer... but not black, on THESE cars, OR not w this auto. Silver, or a smoke I just alluded to, different beast/effect! Hey... find pics or when I'm desperate, I make copies and do paper dolls, as-it-were. Corny, but can really reset the brain when in a quandry. Silver, light smoke, or, is there a transparent, LIGHT, pearlescent that will go w the white paint and JUST BARELY shimmer in the right light? A, not-quite-there, effect...?

THEN, maybe full-on peralescent calipers? After, we can reopen the black light question... heh heh. This is [getting too sexy] to the point of calling in a gal. They know which necklace to wear, as it were. The finer points of accutriments.

 

Plus, the wheels are 4 lug. I'm still on the fence about doing the SN95 spindle/rotor and New Edge caliper conversion. I might just do SVO calipers though to retain the stock appearance.

Frankie might get the SN95 setup instead, and I can move those SVO calipers to the 89. Frankie will be packing more heat (351) so it seems like it should stop better.

If I had the bucks, I'd make the fronts on my 150, the twin/air-cooled rotors... and I usually drive as if I don't even have brakes. Extra brakes are nice to have, like a 2nd carry. You try to not use the 1st.

 

Just reviewing some pics and video from last weekend.... and I'm wondering if this is my PS "leak". Don't know how this happened.... but this cap has never stayed tight.

 

Matt's new rig...

 

Isn't Frankie an 89 as well.......mostly?

 

What's Matt suppose to do with that lol.

That will be interesting.

Edit: NM, I got the whole story now....I missed an episode lol.

 

Frankie is an 88. Last year of speed density... so I fixed that.

 

Whitey. I have to feel for you on the PS cap problem. I had that on my 90 F150. Couldn't get that damn thing to stay on, and the fluid would go everywhere. I finally just replaced it. What intake are you using on that SBF you showed?

 

It is made by Cartech. He made them for a few people, and this one was made for a dealership called Downs Ford, which I think is in the New York/New Jersey area.

I talked to the owner of Cartech a couple months ago and asked him if he had any left that he'd sell, but he didn't. I want one for Frankie too. My head is turning though.... I might just try my hand at making one. It'll probably suck though.
