Chrome door handles
I'm about ready to begin the bodywork and in the process, I've tracked down the exterior peices to make it look clean (taillight lenses, amber lenses, badges, etc).
I can't decide on which door handles to get, the standard black ones or the chrome ones. I havn't seen many cars with the chrome handles, does anyone have them..or at least some pics on what they look like?
Here's my '86 LX coupe with the chrome door handles.
Past Mustangs:
1965 "K" Code Coupe... 289/271HP 4 speed Poppy Red
1986 GT... Canyon Red 5 speed
2002 GT... Silver Automatic
2003 Mach 1... Azure Blue 5 speed
Current Cars:
1986 Mustang LX 5.0L Coupe
1996 Escort LX 2 Door
2011 Ford Fusion SEL

Not at all..i like the chrome handles, I like the car too
I might as well get the chrome, I think it'll be a nice touch on a black convertible with a black top and polished aluminum wheels.
Hopefully this step isn't too far away, I have to catch up on the build pics, these will definately be on the list when they're on.
I'd say go with the chrome.

Hah! good memory, that's still the plan, depending on how much the bodywork is..right now its between spraypainting it black satin because I'm sick of primer or body shop painting it tuxedo black...
I remember everything as long as it has to deal with carsHah! good memory
