OK fix. to public.

Just a bump to ask if you have any new progress to report? You asked about the mirror some time ago and I just saw what looks to be a similar setup - it is off a Porsche 944. Search: tbrown5079 - "56 Cameo Build" see his post 94 and 103. The installation sure looks slick. The 944 mirrors can be had for about $150.00. I also looked at an article about installing Porsche Teardrop mirrors from a Porsche 968 on a Porsche 944 - looks to be a direct swap between those two models, thus the 968 mirrors would work on your truck. Of course the 968 Mirrors are app $500.00 a pair!

Sorry for not posting. But there has been no progress to speak of. Works crazy right now. New titles have been listed to my job description( AOG, aircraft on ground, HOT, Mister fix it ). The company thought it wise to give golden hand shakes, and get rid of all the experience.

Did you have to do a lot of modifications to get it to fit?

You need to trim the back at the corners and add some in the middle back. Do to the 1958 Impala has a V shape to the bumper and the trucks have a slight curve. This also depends on how far back you what it. You could add to the back the whole length, but you will have a continental kit bumper on the front. It will stick out 7-8 inches at the point.( ankle buster!!!!!!!!!!!!! )

ChuckDriver · 01-03-2015, 08:25 PM

Very cool!!!!
