Going to resurrect a Daisy Dukes CJ Jeep!
So then I went right to getting things on this model, next up? The mirrors!!! Sadly, the kit supplied parts were again WAY OFF.... I took them and used them to guide me to making ones a little closer, to what Daisy Jeep "Dixie" had.... They were chrome in the kit, but the real Jeep they were Semi-Gloss Black! SO, I did in fact paint them to reflect this!
Got them made, and then got them in-place on the Jeep, and painted them right after the CA dried..... I made my OWN Mirror parts here, the kit-stock parts were nothing really, I even used the actual round mirror they supplied as a "mount"..... The brackets are made from straight pins! I then CA glued them to the Jeep.
AND as you can see, I also got the Antenna in-place too... Not the actual true location for the real one but this Jeep is so far off, at this point, I had to use that little mount area for something other then to "plug" it up like I did the same thing on the other side..... SO....
Looks pretty good considering! I also put the spare tire and rack back in-place, (it will remain functional the spare tire rack!)
-And just a couple extra's......
ENJOY............... There are a few more to come!!!! -Stay tuned, Comments welcome.
