Tommy CHOO CHOO (aka TYCHOOCHOO) [ View ] [ tychoochoo@optonline.net ] [ Car Ads ] [ Blogs ] MT. SINAI, New York (631) 476-8881  Tommy choo choo

I want to install outside mirrors on my 34 ford. What I need to know is what type of round mirror and mirror arm should I use if I'm mounting on the door? I would like mirrors that look good and most of all can be used. The ones that are on there now are good for s__t. I want to replace Igniition Wires on the 350 with a HEI, I need 90 degree boots for the plugs and 90s for the HEI cap. I want the color Red and long enough to make it look neet. I could make up the cap end. What is a good brand wire to use and where do you get them? Thanks, Tommy

I just need to decide 3" or 4" mirrors and what type of arms. Tommy choo choo [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] MT. SINAI, New York Charter Member since June 2007   Posted by Crazyhorse Rod Shop  -  05/07/2008 08:44 PM most of those fancy mirrors only have a couple of tiny screws to hold them. when shopping keep in mind how your going to mount them. i use 3 in peep mirrors with the convex mirror over them. dont poke the porchdog........he bites [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] BLUFF DALE, Texas Charter Member since March 2003   Posted by TYCHOOCHOO  -  05/07/2008 08:52 PM the mirrors I have now are on the door front bottom of door window. I want to be able to cover the holes that are there now so I'm thinking about a 5" arm on a 3" mirror in the same place the old ones are on. You might be able to see what I mean if you go to readers rides and look at the car. Tommy choo choo [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] MT. SINAI, New York Charter Member since June 2007   Posted by ronhotrod  -  05/07/2008 09:19 PM We ,as do most dealers, sell a 'swan' mirror that looks great and extends out far enough to allow rear vision, but not so far as to look ridiculous. They have a 4" round head and blind mount to the car. the arm has a double bend that looks like a swan's neck and extends about 5" from the body.

Work really great and stay where they are aimed. Years ago I got a tool for making up plug wires. I use black wires and run them UNDER the headers. They sort of disappear that way.
