Chrysler Atlantic Concept Car, my way

[ismaelg]

Hello,

GASP!!!! 😲

John, are you suggesting to remove the mirror mountings for a cleaner window line????

Well, Great minds think alike!!!!

Stay tuned for my idea on the mirrors.  Testarossa anyone?

Thanks,
Ismael

Now doesn't that look better already?

[ismaelg]

Hello,

It certainly does!  
I originally thought of mounting the mirrors up high like a Testarossa...

But I don't think they look right. 

Having them been a small manual mirror, maybe.  But I want the convenience of a modern power/heated mirror.
I think a more conventional location looks better on this car, somewhere around this area, or maybe even slightly lower.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Ismael

I find these mirrors somewhat bulky. I searched and found some more querying "door mounted rear view mirrors". But being a concept car, who would prevent you to use cameras?.

The roof is too narrow to mount those mirrors up high. They look out of place there in my opinion.

Hello,

That is just a scrap strip of clear styrene with a small piece of transparent tape because my fat fingers were not allowing to take a proper picture. 🤣

Thanks,

I like the idea of cameras for mirrors. 

Here's how they look inside, although this is a central driver, simple little screens, easy to scratch build for the cameras.

And here's how they look outside, also simple to scratch build.

I love what you're doing to the Atlantic!

Lower is definitely better, perhaps some indy car mirrors from the 90s. Actually I like the 1976 Ferrari F1 mirrors.

Hello,

Tried multiple mirrors. Here are some of them.  Honestly, been a big car, a small mirror doesn't work.  At the end, the kit's mirror looks the best to me. Now I need to decide a final location.

Thanks,
Ismael
