Finally.... I couldn't wait! I got home from work and it was still day light, at least for a couple hours anyway so I proceeded to remove the old painted mirrors! I knew the passenger side would come right off since I had it off in Hoboken. That one was a snap! After it was off, I installed the new/used chrome mirror. Oh yea baby, now were talking! Looking pretty good, finger prints and all! With darkness hurrying itself in pretty quick, I said what the heck, let's go for the drivers side! Wouldn't you know it! The nuts were hidden into areas only who knows where, but I eventually got all four of them out! With the sun setting quickly and working alone, I was able to actually get the drivers side on just as Susan came home. She said it was too cold for her to help so I managed to get it done alone! Now it's dark, very dark and I decided to turn the running lights on so I could adjust the mirrors. The passenger side went well as did the install but the drivers side was a bear especially doing it alone! I guess I will have to eventually get the switches and wire them up like they were designed but after too many trips down the steps, around the front, adjust, around the bus and back up into the bus, I called it quits! They are not perfectly adjusted yet but they sure look pretty!  Used, with a few scratches and all they still look cool! Remember, this being my 3rd bus and my very first set of modern chrome/polished aluminum Ramco type mirrors makes me feel like a kid at Christmas! Hey it IS Christmas! Oh and I'm sure Freddie would be proud of me using USED junk on my "house on wheels" as he puts it! | ||

here is a pic of the mirrors and the chrome tape (cheapskate) around the head light bezels and center section between lights!  |
