Old fashion mirrors on Harvey

I finished putting on a set of Swan neck oval mirrors on Harvey. I posted pictues in the gallery other HHRs. These small mirrors are not for the weak of heart.
This is my first attempt at posting pics, when I find out more I will post more.
See ya down the road

The view, very small. I purchased a largeer mirror for the inside so I can see all the way back on both sides from the passenger door. I put a small adustable convex mirror on both left and right had side. These mirrors DO NOT IMPROVE YOUR SAFETY. They do take a little more caution and double checking but once you get use to them, its a do. I made my own blank mounting plates and still have my stock mirrors just in case I want'd to go back to the stock mirror. Right now I'm going to keep the little ones on.
Thank you HillsdaleHHR for bringing the pics to this site.
See ya down the road

Wow, what era are the tiny mirrors from - the 30's? I can envision them in old movies. Bud, they look awesome, fellow! And it sounds like you really did double duty on the safety with the special inside mirror.

Geez, I want to see the whole car so bad (from different viewpoints) --- guess I'll have to wait until Deja Vous .

Thought about making another set to sell? gttaluvme@hotmail.com I would want the mirrors mounted just a bit lower, though. 1/2" ??? Also, it appears the mounting bases are angled upward a bit toward the front. Intentional? It must be because each side seems that way equally..... Purpose? Personal pref? Functional? thnx for the pix!!! .....and confirmation an idea I was noodling can work well.
