Welcome from Central New York. Very nice collection! Mike

Welcome from Central New York. That's a very nice thing you're doing there! 👊 Mike

@Hemikiller That's good to hear, thanks. I'm leaning more and more towards buying the convex replacement. I'll probably wait until I need to grab a couple of other things to save on shipping. Thanks for your input guys. Mike

@tony-muscle thanks for the reply. That the mirror adheres well is good to hear. Does it look like it sticks out very far? It seems to me that having 2 layers of mirror might look strange

I did see the listing at OMS and a couple of other sites. He was the least expensive, but I was hoping to spend less by buying a used one. There are also "stick-on" convex mirrors that are pretty cheap, but I worry about them falling off. I'll take a look for your thread too, thanks for letting...

RIBS The cost of the Lokar setup scared me away too. It looks like Jegs has their own version of the setup at a much cheaper price but I wound up ordering a custom stainless kickdown rod from Kickdown Rods Galore for under $130 shipped. He turned the order around the next day. It's supposed to...

I think the belt clipping into the console was just to have a convenient place to keep the belt when not in use. I don't think it was meant to provide protection during a collision.

My opinion: Grabber Blue is cool but Wimbledon White is classy. I bet that's no help. Mike

I'll bite. What's the story?

If you don't mind I'd like to hijack this thread for a quick question: Does this look like the proper routing for the kickdown rod? Mine wasn't installed when I bought the car. This is towards the bottom of the firewall you can see the brake lines Thanks, Mike

Welcome from Central New York. I've always been partial to that color, my first car was a '75 Gran Torino in that shade of blue. Good luck and post more pictures. Mike
