Hotrodders through the years have had a thought process that being involved with hot rodding keeps the enthusiast young at heart. Such is the case with the owner of this awesome 34 Ford sedan. Ron Davis & the life he has lived is an inspiration to many including me ! Ron's 34 Ford goes beyond being a show winner, as most every part of his hot rod has been carefully thought out & has his personal touches throughout. Ron & I became friends years ago & along the way we have had good conversations about what his hot rod needed for not only aesthetics but also function & safety. Ron drives his 34 Ford to every show & was experiencing rear vision issues that were in need of addressing. One of the first vision issues fixed was handcrafting an interior rear view mirror mount that I made that had a flat mount that was glued to the windshield. The next vision issue was the door outside mirrors, as Ron bought a pair of swan neck style mirrors that didn't have enough angular adjustment to align the mirror with where Ron sat in the car. Many of the hot rod style mirrors available, don't have enough angular adjustment, especially when it comes to the passenger side of a given car. After some careful testing & mocking up of the angle while Ron sat in the driver's seat we came up with the proper alignment angle & from there, I handcrafted one off bases with angled inserts to resolve the rear vision issue of the drivers & passenger's sides. A special thanks to Ron Davis as we have worked very well together through the years ! I've included photos of most of the parts that were handcrafted for Ron's 34 Ford in this post.
