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,

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?

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?.

Ismael, that is a lapping film is your hand?

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.
