Calipers Back On

As stated in the last post, the plan was to take the calipers to a paint shop for powder coating in bright red, but that didn't happen.  The paint shop didn't want to bake the calipers with the pistons and seals still in, and I didn't want to take them out.  At the same time, Brian decided that the calipers weren't exotic enough to warrant bright red, so we decided on plain old heat resistant black paint.  I could do that myself, but first I had to borrow the bead blaster back to get the rust off.  It did a good job:

Next came a couple of coats of high-temp gloss black caliper paint and then the re-install.  Final look:

 



We have ordered the front-to-rear brake line and the fuel line, but the brake line has not arrived and the two need to be installed together.  Things have been kind of slow on the Mustang, but I have been really busy on some other projects, so the winter has not been boring, for sure.
