Interior rear view mirror modification.
Anyone ever seen those 3,4 & 5 panel interior rear view mirrors? The mounts that come with them are a joke as the require you to screw them into the headliner/roof panel and that causes the mirror to vibrate so bad it ain't even funny. Thankfully though they offer other mounts for them so you can mount them right to the windshield just like the original mirror is.
I first put one of these (5 panel) into my old 74 442 cutlass 20 yrs ago. and have been hooked since. When I picked up my Suburban I noticed that if I centered the 5 panel on the windshield, there was enough of a gap at either end for a couple of more panels........Hmmmmm I went ahead and picked up a 4 panel and sliced it in two then I bondo'd half of it to the right end of my old 5 panel and added one more windshield arm to it to give it the support it needed. So now my interior mirror is 7(SEVEN) panels wide and I sit high enough in the seat that it also acts as a visor for me as well. Here's some pics of the finished product.......
