Finally got the Outside Visor Mounted... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Atomsplitter · 08-19-2009, 10:18 PM

It's 50/50 so far, either people like it or don't.
I was at a cruise-in this evening and an antique car purist was pissed that I had used an original aluminum car visor on my truck. I believe he said to his buddy that I "bastardized it" as he walked away!

What do you guys think, I wanted the semi bad-ass, mean look to it.

IL boy · 08-19-2009, 10:55 PM

I like it alot

fiddy9apache · 08-19-2009, 10:58 PM

I like it

And when it comes right down to it...It all about you
If you like it
Dude at the cruise-in needs to keep his opinions to himself. I'm sure we could easily pick his ride apart, and I'm sure he wouldn't like it

I think your truck looks bad ass

ChuckDriver · 08-20-2009, 06:51 AM

Looks GREAT!!

Bigblue29 · 08-20-2009, 12:14 PM

I like it but I am biased!

robin58 · 08-20-2009, 12:26 PM

Always liked the look of them. Who cares if it's an original or a Fulton or whatever. To me it just shows you did more work to make something not intended for that vehicle work.

And like Diesel said, the other guy should have kept his opinion to himself. It's one thing offering constructive advice on potentially dangerous items, it's another thing criticizing someone's execution of how they want their ride to look.

Here's a before and after shot:

mylow53 · 08-20-2009, 03:50 PM

smoken' this is where i was headed till i had to make mine shinny. it looks like you truck has his hat on! very cool. and if anyone dosent like it they can build their own!!!

CAL 58 GMC · 08-20-2009, 04:09 PM

All that counts is if you like it! Forget about those who talk trash about someone's ride.

Lextech · 08-20-2009, 04:17 PM

Me Like!!!

jjjmm56 · 08-20-2009, 07:02 PM

Looks gangster . Just by putting that on makes the top look chopped. Love it!

entourageguy · 08-20-2009, 07:52 PM

I like the look as well.
Are you going over to Oshawa for the big show. We have to hook up some time for a visit.

Looks great, what was the dickhead at the cruise driving? Probably his Mom's minivan.

nickp51chevy · 08-21-2009, 10:08 PM

It looks good. I want to put a visor on my truck but I'm to tall, I wouldn't be able to see out of my window.

dieselarmy13 · 08-21-2009, 10:17 PM

I like it and that's all that matters

BruceR&C · 08-22-2009, 12:08 AM

Looks good.

Had one on my wife's '47 but, she didn't like it.

pgf545 · 08-22-2009, 09:45 AM

Atom....Totally makes your truck...

Looks like the look my wife gives me when she is pissed.....

Thanks again to all for the positive feedback.

I guess only truck people can appreciate stuff like this!
