 Scale stuffDoes anyone know where I could track down a set of correct Silverado side view mirrors for a Clod body? I've seen them on some of the builds on this site and they look fab.

Re: Scale stuff Other than making them yourself, about the best you can hope for is to find a toy from which you can transplant them. The hard part is that static modeling, RC, and toys are all different scales, so the quest will be a tough one.

Re: Scale stuff There are a few topics on scale gear down in the Tech and Info Forum. That link may be down there.

Re: Scale stuff Thanks for the responses. I feel this may be a long quest.

Re: Scale stuff Actually, I found out what was used. Those are side mirrors from the HILUX Toyota. D Parts tree. Then you just get some 1/8 rod and bend it and then cut to size to connect the mirror to the base. Otherwise you're spending thirty something bucks on the metal parts bag just for the rod. I found a thread that talked about this very thing. I already placed an order at Tower. Can't wait to get 'em.
