Sorry that was my brain trying to remember where that switch came from ....I was thinking 99- up gm trucks

Kevin, Thanks for the mirror pictures, what I'm trying to figure out is the best way to mount the mirror movement in the case. Are you fabricating something that ties into the mount for the stem? Also how are you interfacing the bullet mirror's plastic glass mount to the movement?


Since I'd already started wiring the car for c6 mirrors, I mounted a 4th gen Camaro switch in the stock chrome bezel in the door panel. It actually looks stockish if thats a look someone is after.

Thanks! We've done several cars with these.

You could probably use that switch.

Somewhere I believe we have more photos of the mounting mechanism. We make a couple brackets to tie the innards together. I'll keep looking.

After the sprayable polyester is block sanded using a guide coat, the body panels seam sealed to prevent moisture from getting between the overlapping panels.

The straightened panels were hung in the spray booth for a coat of high build primer.

The backside of the panels were then masked and sprayed with black Imron.

The body shell was then moved into the paint booth, masked, and the exterior was primed.

The inside was sanded and prepped for black Imron. The interior, roll cage, dash, and firewall were all blacked out next.

Next the crew mixed up some of the jet stream blue to make a spray out card. The color looks outstanding in the sun! This is a color available on a late-model ZR1 Corvette, so it was a natural for the ZR9 Camaro.

The body shell was then sprayed with guide coat, and all the parts were wet sanded smooth to 600 grit in preparation for color.

We sprayed Standox base coat and clear on the exterior panels.
