Progress pics: Mirrors for 1pc window kit - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

While the bodyshop is promising to have the old girl finished by Friday, I figured I would piddle around the house a little tonight in preparation of her homecoming. I hated to drill holes in those brand new doors. I decided to mount some Billet Specialties models on their bent arms on the one piece windows filler pieces. Mounting them was fun! What do you think?

Looks good to me!! Post some pics after you get it done.

subtle71 · 11-15-2005, 11:24 PM

If I don't get a chance to snap a shot tomorrow, when I take them to the bodyshop, I will get some next week when I get it all back together. (Next week I am on vacation! Garage full of parts all to myself! Hehehe!!)

*FormerMember* · 11-15-2005, 11:24 PM

I would be interested in seeing them mounted as well.

I have that one piece window kit sitting in my garage.

**Palf70Step** · 11-15-2005, 11:32 PM

Those are going to look sharp Dean. Can't wait to see your ride together.

4tiresngas · 11-15-2005, 11:44 PM

I think those are awesome. I was going to do the one-piece window deal, but I got tired of waiting on the backorder and eventually just bought new vent windows and channeling.

chevy_fatman · 11-16-2005, 12:08 AM

Looking good! will you able to see in those mirros? mine are different but about the same size, they're sitting somewhere so I don't know in the visibility factor yet...

**N2TRUX** · 11-16-2005, 12:16 AM

I think they look awesome. They are large enough to be functional, yet small enough to look cool...

muddpile · 11-16-2005, 12:21 AM

Those should look awesome! Can't wait to see em installed.

krue · 11-16-2005, 12:50 AM

Once again can't wait to see the finished product.

70short · 11-16-2005, 03:35 AM

riden2low · 11-20-2005, 01:20 AM

Where did you get the mirrors

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-20-2005, 02:26 AM

Very nice mirrors should look very nice on the finished truck..

JameslovesJammie · 11-20-2005, 05:23 AM

We ABSOLUTELY need to see these mounted!

subtle71 · 11-22-2005, 09:05 PM

A few of you were wanting to see what the mirrors would look like once they were installed on the truck. Just got it back this morning and heres what it looks like.

**Palf70Step** · 11-23-2005, 12:49 AM

Those look really good on there Dean! Definitely the right touch.

*FormerMember* · 11-23-2005, 09:30 AM

How's the visibility?

After a trip from my mechanic's shop back to the house (about 30 miles) I can honestly answer that question. The best way I could describe it is...Functional. You can see what is behind you but it is not large and luxurious enough to spoil you by any means! Like most things in life, it is all a compromise. You just have to adjust to it.

**BOSS** · 11-23-2005, 08:05 PM

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-23-2005, 11:51 PM
