Any one have any tips on how to install the side mirrors on this kit. 

I see a lot of these built but no side mirrors even the box art they did not install the mirrors 

All advise will be considered.  

Thank you

Here is one for sale on ebay that has some pretty good pictures of the mirrors.

Thanks. Checked it out. That one has more like car mirrors.  The ones in the kit have 3 brace that attach to the body.

Hey Andre, google image "1978 dodge truck". There are a bunch of pictures of the big towing mirrors. As far as I know the kit has the wrong mirrors in it. All LRE trucks had the small sport mirrors from the factory.

As far as mounting the big mirrors, if it was me I would pin them to the model so they would stay put. Ideally you would drill the holes for the pins before painting the cab. It can be done after painting, it is just a bit more stressful. A small piece of low tac painters tape will allow you to mark the locations for the holes before drilling and should not harm the paint as long as it has cured pretty well.

Your right. The kit mirrors are wrong.  BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH
