Will the newer f150 paddle mirrors line up? They are pretty square may flow better than the rounded SD ones.

That's what we were going to do. I stole the idea from Unbroken. Use 650/750 mirror blank plates and glass in the 150 mirrors. It would look awesome.

Chances of finding someone to actually do good glasswork around here and make that work is very slim.

I have a set of mirrors i was going to try that with.

The only issue i see its not really fiberglass work since its plastic mirrors and blanks. I think the better option would be a high build epoxy or something. Im not that great with fiberglass but i know on some of the stuff we have done in the shop here it doesn't always play well with plastic. Its fine with woods and metals but plastics it doesn't seam to stick to. Maybe I am missing something on that tho.

I also have a set of Excursion nemo mirrors with turn and heat if you want. Just pay the shipping.

You are correct. I actually took a fiberglass class back in college. We used a 3M 2 part epoxy in the big 3M powered applicator when working with plastics(3M Automix Plastic and Bumper Repair). Definitely not something I really want to do myself.

Was up past your place today and didn't see ya. I want to check this thing out. I'm unofficially on the hunt for a 4x4 rcsb 6.4, excursion, or updating my mustang to a 13/14. I want to check this out and maybe get some inspiration.

Think you can get it done if I send you a set of mirrors and a set of blanks? Don't want to spend $300 on F150 mirrors w/ turn signals only for someone to *** it up LOL.

Finally just went to the machine shop since they do not answer the phone. Everything is done except the block. Had to go to 0.030" over due to taper. He wants a piston to size his final bore and hone to. So now I'm in need of 0.030" over pistons delipped, decked, coated and with valve reliefs. Feel free to PM me prices.
