Well I struggled with whether or not to put the mirrors on the fenders or doors. We had them on the fenders before on this car, put door mirrors on Chris' car #72 in BC and they looked great.
Those were composite mirrors with contourable bases, the Talbots weren't happy about going on the doors.
Angelo decided "on the doors" so that was it. I don't get out much, so drilling holes in a new paint job on a GT40 seemed like a lot of fun, I'm in.
The trick with the Talbots is to carefully recontour (fancy way of saying GRIND) the cast pedestal where it meets the mirror head to re-align the head to horizontal, then the mirror lense will sit at a near vertical position without looking like it's about to fall out or touch the body.
Fiddly but worth it.
Cheers Ian
