I'm looking for some "bullet" style mirrors, and need them to be power. My problem is the mounted surface -- the holes for the mirrors are on the fenders (it's a 1967 4-door Jag 420G). Furthermore, they are on a reverse angle of the fender, so the slant is downward from the outside inward (I've seen that many mirrors are set up for upward, going from outside inward.
I saw some mirrors that looked like they could be adjusted correctly (from Carolina mirrors), but they're not power. Any ideas?

I am currently working on a 74 chevy nova. Its my first car, I just sent it out to get it silica blasted and when I get it back this weekend I am going to get started on the body. But I have a few questions that pertain to custom interiors. I saw a 38 Graham Roadster on your site, I think it said Jerry Kind from Lodi, NJ worked on 'er. I noticed that foam was used, I'm guessing it was spray in, cut away then covered with fiberglass. What brand/kind of foam is it exactly? Was it covered with fiber? If so is there anything I need to do to keep the resin from eating away the foam? I really appreciate any information you could give me. Like i said this is my first car but I built/paint custom choppers so the only thing I am not going to do on this car myself is media blast it. Thanks, Tyler

Hi Guys, I am planning to do a radical custom of a rare 1940 Bedford truck. It is an English ex-army flat top. I have a rough plan sorted to mold the body to the chassis of a Ford F250 4x4 7.3liter Power Stroke Diesel. It will be light enough with my calculations to perform as well as most street machines and should be something of a perfect street sleeper. I would like to get some info on the engine, like how much power it puts out in stock form and the the torque rating. Grumpy

First time interior installation... I know that this is a shot in the dark, but I am wondering if anyone out there has ever installed a Rod Doors ABS headliner, and matched it with their rear cab cover panels? I'm working on the interior of a Downs glass 33 Ford coupe, and I bought the whole "kit" from Rod Doors. However, there are only vague instructions and no pictures included when it comes to the headliner. All the ABS plastic panels are plenty oversized (a good thing), but that leaves many options on what to cut and where. Just wondering if anyone has successfully used this kit in a 32-33-34 coupe and could send me some pictures of your process? Many thanks in advance! Ed

The wire I disconnected from the external regulator which went to the ign. light needs to connect somewhere ….. My problem…. Where? Thank You for any help

I haven't seen this addressed and would like some honest feedback before going this route. Thank you. Ted
