made some side view mirrors

Hi guy's, thought I'd share what I've been up to. In my gallery intitled metal work, starting on photo #7 is the side view mirrors I made from a 95 Pontiac Grand Am. I used the original mounting spot on the doors. I've been playing around trying to post a picture from my gallery and if it happens to appear I don't know what I did and don't think I'd be able to do it again

John,

mirrors look great... too bad about the missing pictures, but if you'd like to you could make me a set and get the missing shots... It's the least I can do...really it is !!! BTW make mine for a '53 truck please


that might be something that the magazines would be interested in publishing. No wait... you're not an aftermarket distributor that advertises in their magazine are you ??? never mind

thanks
john

Nice looking mirror. You did good! If you're going to make some for John then I suppose you should make some for me also.

does anyone think our stock mirrors are too small for a truck? the only saving grace is a big back window, big side windows, and a big windshield to see everything out of

Nice truck you have there 0to100to0, is the big window original or is that the after market kit. Just asking because of the primer, those seats look comfy as well what are they out of?

I think you had a very clever idea with the mounting for your mirrors. Great job!

the big window is the kit from chesserbuilt and it worked out pretty well.
the seats are rediculously comfortable... they are 6-way power seats with lumbar support and a side air bag from a 2001 caddy. anybody want them? i am getting rid of them soon because i would really prefer a bench if i can find one.
