I wanted something to show off the suspension work that I have done. What better than some mirrors. What do you think?

I just created the boxes with the mirrors this week. If you stand at the rear center of the vette you can get a good look at the A arms. I almost have the other two mirrors completed.

Very cool! And, what a clever way to display your attention to detail to these hard to reach and see C5 suspension pieces. Well done!

Very , they can double as wheel chocks too . I hope that sweet car is a trailer queen though, I'd hate to keep up that bling-bling polish!

Great job Bob.. Your suspension work looked awesome at the Henderson show a few weeks ago!.. The mirrors are really going to help see it..
Have you been polishing more since then?
Why don't you bring it on down to the Calvert City Show on the Fourth of July and show it off!..
