I have thought about doing that to my centurion but I think I might run an amber switch on the outside so that you can see it from the front. Something similar to the Audi q5 mirrors.

I've considered a front blinker, but haven't found any that'd look good

I'm just going to use an led strip that has a smooth cover and then just tint it black and stick it on. I think it should look decent.

Engine work is on hold for a couple weeks till I can get some help.

The other day I found these two 79's at Wally World and decided to try my hand at to making them them look like the highboy lol I already have the "lift" figured out as you can see, just have to find something I can steal axles and tires off of lol

IF you dont mind me asking a question, How hard was it put the 92-96 mirror in there, My mustang mirrors aren't cutting it anymore, They are to small and hard to see out of it..

Wasn't too hard at all. The worst spot was deciding placement, some people say mine look too low, but I have no issues seeing out of them. Any higher and they would have had an odd upward angle, and the inside support would have been harder locate and drill. These pics should show kinda how everything lines up and is mounted...
