Car looks great. Congrats and Enjoy! I think this car will achieve classic status very quickly.

 

It snugs right back into it's original position. There is a pretty thick blanket or piece of foam weather stripping material that seals up the backside of the mirror. As far as the wiring, it's a simple harness or plug. The only thing you could do wrong with that is pull it apart without depressing the plastic retainer. The backside of the mirror, interior, the cover just snaps in place. It almost comes off too easily. It's actually just tight enough for it to not be a long term falling off issue. Other than that, CAKE.

 

I have to say it doesn't look right because the moron painted the grate looking plastic that I wanted to remain black. He said he couldn't get it taped off properly, when in reality, he didn't want to take the time to tape it off properly. I have another one on order ($38) which I will tape off myself and have him paint it correctly. I think it will look much better then.

By the way, I can't figure out how to post with mulitple quotes from different posts. I've looked, but can't figure it out.

you can't. the only option you have is to manually copy-and-paste text from other posts and then put quote-tags around it

 

Nuff said!!

 

 

Amen to all the praise above! I take it there was no problem getting your paint? Seems like you were able to make this all happen pretty quickly.

 

I'll say what's already been said, the painted mirrors look great!

Thanks for the heads up on how to disassemble the mirrors. Definately a mod I might have to consider.

 

No problem at all getting paint. Above, I mentioned that I ordered another lower grill and was going to tape it off myself. Today, I stopped by and he said he had some paint left over so when I get the new lower grill, he would paint it up-no charge. He also saw a very slight paint run on the bottom of the mirror and told me to bring it back when I get the grill and he'll have them wet sand it out. I thought that was pretty cool. Not bad for $100.

Thanks for all the great responses!

 

Whom did you speak to over at Al Packer West? The body shop manager? I cannot remember his name. He did some touch-up work for me before.
