I use 0.032 brass rod for mirrors. Bends well with round nose pliers.
I had planned to use brass rod which would be easier. I had the plastic rod on hand

Thats why they sell glue..for those accidents

Thanks Steve ! I was trying to keep everything to scale by doing them w rod. I mocked up a white metal set first, but didn't care for the look.
I found a set of ultra rare mirrors w mounts w the right curvature for the 2 part side mirrors I wanted to replicate. They probably came from an Ollie's 4300 kit..
I removed the molded on mounts, sanded the back smooth, then cut them about 1/4" wide. Each side gets 2 heads. Heres the real deal
How they began...
After the chopper..
I need to replace one edge after chopping them, probably a strip of square rod will work.
Thanks for riding along!

I fabbed up a pair of west coast style mirror mounts today! After looking over several kit mirrors, aka telephone poles, I grabbed some evergreen rod and got busy bending. I chose 030" rod for a scale appearance. Meng bolts finish off the mounts.
Surprisingly it went fairly quick, after a couple snapped bends.
Tomorrow I'll tackle the actual mirror heads, and blind spot mirrors on the hood .
Thanks to everyone following along !

great color on your Foose Ford ! I'll parrot what Tom mentioned about the glass, mine clicked in so well, it was never glued. I've mis-handled that build more than any other, and the glass hasn't shifted. An extremely fun build to break up long projects.
Doing a quick search here turned up tons of Foose builds, showing how many fall together

keep up the progress, the add-ons will make for a fantastic bike

absolutely stunning work! The pre-shading panels, then drawing lines around areas really give a dimension to the parts making everything cohesive.

Looking forward to this release. I drove a friend's cajun red 4 door squatch when he received it. Very cool vehicle to drive around his hunting camp

Great job on the orange ! Enamels gassing out seems like it takes forever, but they hold their shine really well
Looking forward to your progress

I airbrushed a few decanted coats of camel yellow over the Micro-mark rivet sheet, and allowed to dry overnight. After work, I cut them into strips and laid them down. I couldn't be happier how they turned out
There's a few lights and mirrors to install, then wrap up the frame. The doors will be last

I heard Daniel was working up the molds this week ! Our truck/ equipment builders will have another engine option. This wouldn't have been possible without the kindness of our member Tom Decker aka @redneckrigger offering his support.
Thanks ..I keep finding other things to add
@Mopar - D- thanks so much. I told my in laws the bus needs its own shelf..so now I get to hang one lol
