Looks good... you gonna throw a fender on next or tackle the other door?

 

Very nice work I really like the mirror treatment! Good luck with the move and Merry Christmas to you too! Hobo Jim

 

I have that same mirror on my 51. I also only have one.

Wow, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say it was worth the wait nice last update.

 

Thank you Hobo Jim.

 

Probably the other door after this one. Then I think I'm going back to the quarter panels to change some things.

 

Thank you very much!

 

Close but not the same. I got excited for a minute!

 

Can you send me a photo?

 

The only two images I have handy. I cropped one so it's a bit grainy. I'm not sure where the mirror came from... it came with the car.

 

Looks like they are close, but not exactly the same.

 

Door and mirror are looking good. Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas! Bob

 

That is a Yankee Tri Bar mirror, just a slightly different version with the grooves around the shroud.

 

Both Rytang's and mine are grooved, but the hood is a slightly different shape on his. I didn't really pick that up until I studied the picture of mine. I didn't realize there were this many different versions of these.

 

@rytang you are a natural for this craft...as echoed from the others the journey you are taking us on never fails to deliver...great stuff. Moving...yuck...well your young and perhaps one of those who likes it.

I hope its just your living space and not the shop...it really has a lot of ambience and space.

Well good luck on all of that and that was a nice update prior to that big holiday...thanks for the good holiday wish and may you too, have a great one...

 

That's an awesome mirror! Hope you can find another one. It does look familiar, but I don't know what it is.

 

Is still can't find the difference looks the same to me. Man your car is cool!!! Lemme know if you ever wanna french that mirror lol!

 

Thank you Bob! Happy holidays!

 

It is a Yankee. Has it marked on the bottom. I found tons and tons of Yankee mirrors, but only 1 like this. So I bought it.

 

Thank you! I try my hardest. And I've been getting great tips from other HAMBers! Yea moving to a new house, which means moving the garage and car too! Shop.... Maybe one day haha! Thank you! Happy holidays!

 

I went to the shop and looked. They are the same. I couldn't see the jog in the hood in my pics.

Thanks for the compliment! It is a neat old car. My suspension build is not hamb friendly so I haven't posted much about it.

I may do a bunch more customizing some day, but for now were leaving it in the tractor paint it's wearing.

Exactly the same!

 

Got her in her new home.

 

Happy New Year, Congrats on the New place and the New Shop looks to have room to breathe. Custom looks great too...so its all good...

 

Yeeeeeeeaaah boi!

 

The video tour shows soooo much more than all the individual pics. This thread is one of my favorites, Great work!

 

If you want to make changes consider the recess on the top side of the mirror but no recess on the lower side so that dirt and water can drain out. Awesome work! Keep it up

 

Looking mighty good.
