Morticia and the 2000 Chevy Malibu I have been working on as my Winter Driver to keep Morticia OUT of the Winter Salt used on the roads here.

Looks nice. Guessing you have to use one of those traffic light prisms now. How much vertical sight do you lose?

Thanks.

Been using 2 of the traffic light prisms for a long time already, one just water slides on the windshield, and a retro one thats dash mounted. Have used one for over 35 years in various cars I have owned and currently own.

You loose some overhead sight for sure, it sticks out farther so you loose that, but, the interor visors when down are Lower by about 2 inches, so if you drive with those down, your already used to it.

I never use the interior visors since the windshield is low to begin with, if I drive early into the rising sun, I just grab my sunglasses.

Cool ride. I like the add one item at a time approach. It keeps the car evolving and people guessing.

Thanks very much.

I have pretty much had my "vision" of my Black Panel even before I bought it.

The one or two items at a time approach, is dictated only by my Wallet.

But morticia is coming all together now pretty nicely, just takes a plan and the cash and effort to get it done

A couple more projects to go yet before she's Complete.
