... I just hate it when you have to work on one door for a whole week to pay for mistakes one made in his life ...

At least it keeps you busy.  Cheesy

Still looking good.  Smiley

Well that's a fair explanation!  Cheesy

For the '73 in the end we went full circle and came back to stock mirrors for a number of reasons. The only other thing I can think of is a door hinge mounted one, they're a bit smaller.  Smiley

The Mooneyes stuff is to classis for a late car.

as i dont often use my mirrors , i'm thinking of replacing my side mirror with a small electric fan .
handy for keeping cool in summer , plus can be directed to blow ash away from the car when smoking and driving .

feel free to copy my idea H !!

After a lot of modification, this one is 4" higher and in the proper position. 2 Weeks of messing, just for the stupid mirror. At least i don't need a peroscope no more..
And changed the Bright Trim for Black. (Tx Mr. Pedrini !)

 (Or Glasparelen), Correct, but you still have grades in glass media. From paint to rust removing.
