rdgracer71 Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 i need some plastic round stock to make some mirrors for a truck im building....does anyone have an idea to where i can get some cheap...maybe from a household item that im not thinking about..... here is the type of mirrors im trying to make
highway Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 It's not plastic, but what about some thin but stiff metal wire? I'm sure you could probably find something like that around the house or even cheap at a craft store.

You can use a toothpick as an applicator so you don't mess up the paint job. You could also use the super glue from the inside if the paperclip fits through the mounting holes for the original mirror, if any, or drill mounting holes with a pin vise drill.

MoparWoman Jamie Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Heres an idea, phone wire, strip it down and glue the just a tiny part of the round boot of the casing to the cab as mounting bases. They insert the phone wire in with alittle to lock the stuff in place. Then paint the wire and booting chrome or silver To make the mirrors move able, just cut part of the round casing and use that with the wire running through it and glue flat sheet plastic to the round casing. Ta da, you have adjustable move able mirrors . Just don't get glue on the wire from the plastic casing. LOL
