I would say use the arms, and get round mirror heads for them.

I dig the build. Keep up the good work.

what you guys think?

put 'em on something with handlebars

**kev2809** · 06-14-2011, 09:07 PM

lol...

i think it looks kinda cool on there. just like peeps hanging from the door edge, just with a little flavor! all i would need to do is drill a small 3/8" hole and thread it from the backside. i wish i could get it stay on so i can stand back and take a pic..

jbclassix · 06-14-2011, 11:08 PM

I think they would work above your vent window better, but it's not my truck

CharlesUFarley · 06-15-2011, 04:37 AM

I vote a big no on those mirrors.

No offense, I just think they'd look better on a bike. Otherwise, I really enjoy reading your thread and the work you've done is great!...Keep it up!

**kev2809** · 06-15-2011, 06:25 PM

^^^ thanks for checking out the build.

i posted up a poll just to see what everyone thinks. im kinda on the fence here, but if i would use them i would spray them gloss black and probably hang them on the door frame edge just in front of the vent window.

Slick67 · 06-15-2011, 06:28 PM

Kev, according to the rest of your build I think whatever you decide to do will be in the right direction.

1sik7t2 · 06-16-2011, 12:17 PM

i say go with them, i was gonna do the same thing to my burb ( think i had the idea first thou) haaaa

...do it to it

lol, appreciate it!

after looking over them, and my poll...i dont think im gonna use them. i know everyone says its your truck, do what you want. but, in the end, its the positive comments that usually make or break an idea. plus, i was on the fence with them to begin with!

look what happened today, motor fell out of my truck!

**kev2809** · 06-19-2011, 05:35 PM

first time pulling a motor and it really wasnt that hard! i was surprised that the transmission just hit the floor..? i thought it was supposed to just stay where it should be..i got it held by a wire now to keep it off the floor..

now im going to get to work on sanding down the firewall, primer, and MAYBE paint it.

firenuttz · 06-19-2011, 06:15 PM

might want to check the trans to see if anything broke off, that happened to me when mine fell off the jack while putting it in

**kev2809** · 06-19-2011, 06:40 PM

mine was never on a jack lol

it stayed put, but once i started rolling it back in the garage, i heard it land on the floor i guess. the only thing i can tell its that the bracket linkage that goes to the steering column came off, but i dont think it broke.

jmedero · 06-19-2011, 06:44 PM

Z that bad boy now before you put it together. You'll regret it if you don't do it. Lol.
Do it all the cool kids are doing it.

**kev2809** · 06-19-2011, 07:07 PM

lol...it was in the plans. but i had trouble getting good welds with the hobart 110 i was using when i welded the axle brackets in the back. made me a little nervous to z the front...

jmedero · 06-19-2011, 09:43 PM

I know you can find someone local that can do the welding. When my front end comes apart here soon it's on baby!! Lol

**kev2809** · 06-20-2011, 12:08 AM

good idea on the welding, maybe i could cut it, set it up and tack it and find someone to weld it back up.

i have a few weeks to figure it out i guess, my time frames are always off so it might be longer lol

67chevy1series · 06-20-2011, 12:29 AM

been waiting to see some progress from your burb!

**kev2809** · 06-27-2011, 07:17 PM

more for u ^^^ !

got to work on the firewall this weekend, didnt plan on doing this much work to it, but hey...doesnt it always go that way?

you guys see any holes that missed?

im thinking of shaving up the wiper hole too, but if i do, where can i re route them? i dont even remember where they went, so maybe i wont need them?

heres a pic of the diagram i been following to help me out..

**kev2809** · 06-27-2011, 07:19 PM

seems like there would more shaved up inside the trans tunnel..couldnt i weld up the oil line hole too..? maybe run it through the floor or something...not sure.

give some feedback plz..i would like to get this thing primed up this week then start the body work!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 06-27-2011, 07:43 PM

i RAN EVERYTHING i COULD THREW THE TRANS TUNNEL...

jbclassix · 06-27-2011, 10:46 PM

I would shave the wiring harness hole, wiper, and oil pressure line. It would be real easy to modify them and run them through the tunnel out of sight!

**kev2809** · 06-27-2011, 11:01 PM

ditto, i think the wiper hole and oil line hole are gone by tomorrow night!

i was trying to take off the fuse block to try to figure something out, but i couldnt even get it off! i think i may leave it though, because the wiring hole next to it has all my air lines and switchbox wiring...but i guess i could reroute that too....hmmmmmm

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 06-28-2011, 07:29 AM

Do it now or you will be kickin yourself in the butt later when you wished you would have done it when you had the chance..
