Thunder Beast has NEW MIRRORS!!
In April, 1999.. my truck was destroyed in a shop fire. The truck was roasted, and everything on it melted off.
Since then, I have been restoring the truck.
The interior was saved, because the windows were rolled up and the vents were shut, keeping the heat out.
Well, I have been restoring the truck since 2005.
I have been looking for mirrors for the doors with no luck... until a couple weeks ago. I FOUND THEM!!
They were on a website of a shop in England.
So I bought them, they were expensive! The shipping was rediculous.
We finally mounted them today!
The sunlight reflecting off them made them look a little gray in the picture, but they are black.

Look different, kind of like inverted Ranger mirrors. Nice monster truck. I bet the local kids love that thing!
Your hood tilts up in the back too. A guy up here told me you have to move the mounts up or forward or back, I can't quite remember, seems like it was a trick direction. I hate these type of mounts, they make it nearly impossible to get the lines right. Just ask around up here someone will know what I'm trying to say. I didn't want to split hairs, just wanted to let you know that it is possible to fix that gap.

Mine opens normally too. I do think there's an adjustment that helps even though they're worn.
