TimHortman Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I've never done this, but I would think that a little superglue on a few of the tires would do the trick. Also, anything like a hot glue should work. Just use a little caution so that the glue doesn't show past the tire, or it will spoil the look of the mirror.

Jimmy Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 My wife is a retail Mang. Try to find "Glue Dots" like hot glue but you can just peal and stick!!! Be careful of suerglue because of the "hase" . I would not glue the car to the mirror. Try putting the car on a raised clear surface, and maybe slanting the mirror just a little. You can see much more, and with less hassle on the judges part. Or, put the car on dice, bolts, crome lug nuts??? Just a couple of thoughts to think about.

Glynyrd Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 You might also try Aleene's Tacky Glue, found in art/craft stores. It's water soluble, and dries quickly. I also like Jimmy's idea of the raised clear surface with a slanted mirror. That's a nice look. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used locite gel, no problem and holds good. I will mount the car on the wood. Thanks to all of you for your help. tomk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
