outside mirror for my 1952
I have been looking at different outside mirrors from peeps to stock. What has been your experience? I'm about ready to weld the factory holes shut as I do the body work on my 1952 GMC. Thanks!

Re: outside mirror for my 1952
I had those same questions when I was putting my 53 together so the next show I went to I took some pics.
Run to the Pines and Dennis Gage was on the grass

Re: outside mirror for my 1952
I was a the local independent biker store a while ago and was looking at their mirrors and gas fillers. the counter gal said a lot of rodders use the after market bike mirrors. ricers are using the flush popup gas fillers. I was thinking about it but worried about paint chips.
