    My 38 has a blind spot when I want to change lanes to the right.. I really didn't want to put another clip on mirror on the passenger side so I installed an inside "convex" mirror to see around the blind spot.. It works great and I'm not afraid to change lanes now... An added benefit is a great conversation piece....**clic pic** 100_4045.JPG 100_4046.JPG 100_4050.JPG

    That's one way to do it! Don't recall having ever seen that before

  3. That is a hell of a good idea!! where did you find that? That would be just the ticket for my 39 tudor as it seems like its all a blind spot on that thing.

    Interesting solution. There definitely is a blindspot, but I just use the swivel between my head and shoulders while trying not to run into the guy in front of me.:D

    Nice looking wood graining on the dash and garnishes. Care to share info on that?
