Stewart's 67 MGB GT

[Stewart]

Thanks for the picture Steve

1 is the cover portion that separated
2 is the piece that came out.

[Steve Simmons]

I don't think that's supposed to come apart. On the rear, there is a rivet that appears to go right through the latching arm.

[Stewart]

That doesn't sound good. If your willing to sell one let me know.

[Steve Simmons]

I can't find my spares at the moment but I'll dig for them. I'd like to keep one pair for myself but I might have a second set. I'll get in touch when I've found them...

[Stewart]

Mirrors.

[gorms68]

Looking good! I like the mirror mounted on the dash, better than what I was going to do.

[Steve Simmons]

Drilling those wing mirror holes is the most terrifying thing you can do!

Why did you decide to replace the standard mirror with a dash mount?

[Stewart]

I watched Guillermo sweat bullets drilling the first pilot hole after the rest of the guys in the shop suddenly vanished.

My sight line is going to be pretty high and the ceiling mounted mirror will cause a nice blind spot. I have the mirror mounted low on the roadster and I like it. It's a shame as I did track down an original mirror assembly in good shape.

Stewart sat in my car and decided the mirror blocked his vision. Being vertically challenged it's usually not in my way, however Stewart is taller than me. Stewart said that Frontline copied his mirror idea before he could use it.

Now that's funny!

It looks nice. Along with the round fender mirrors, it gives the car an even more vintage feel.

I don't have an original in my GT either. I have a larger than stock mirror with day/night setting. It's mounted to a small panavise clamp that allows it to sit slightly lower, maybe an inch or so.

Just waiting on the upholstery shop to get the right vinyl and last bit of glass can go back in.

[Martin Keller]

Stewart,
Your MGB GT is looking very sharp.
Sure hope my car turns out as nice paint wise.

[Stewart]

Rear Glass is in and a replacement set of door latches dropped off.

[Stewart]

Well the car's not moving quite as fast as I'd like but the garage it will be finished in is. Next week the garage floor get's epoxied and a week or so later stuff can start moving in.

[tannyo]

Very nice Stewart.

[Stewart]

Off to get the headliner put in

[Stewart]

Getting closer. New Garage once cured is ready to go.

[Steve Simmons]

Is that a fuzzy headliner? Did you forgo the side pieces and just upholster the whole thing as a single piece?

[Stewart]

It's not fuzzy but has a fabric like texture. It should be multi piece but it's hard to tell in the photo's.

[Stewart]

To bad it's 102 today.

[Steve Simmons]

Hey wait a minute. It isn't done yet. I remember a fancy set of wheels that aren't in the picture!

[Stewart]

Just waiting for a bit of shade Steve.

[Steve Simmons]

Maybe you just brought it to the wrong garage!

Ok, I'm just anxious to see those wheels mounted.

[Stewart]

Can't wait till I get this one to the new garage where there is tons of space to work inside.

Here you go Steve
