Yo- JOHN, You've gone this far, you simply MUST take those mirrors off before you spray.You wont regret the 30 minutes on each one.

Sounds like you know what you're doing, wish I could hear it rumble when it's complete.

oh ya don't worry I have the mirrors off and sittin on the passenger floorboard right now...I am pretty sure I know what I am doing...if you look close at the second picture I believe there is a blue 75 in the background...I just did a restoration on that one I am just waiting on some parts for it...that one is for a like 80 year old guy...that was my "practice" car before I did mine
