Install O/S mirror on 63 early?

Yes, the door needs to have the interior removed and a new reinforcing plate put under the right side mirror. Location should match the left side as right side was not factory, although there may be some dimensional instructions out there I don't know of them.

Thanx for info, once again, Dad. Yes, I have fotos of car during project and also on run back home. I know I can't post them on this NG and I don't have a website of my own, so am a bit in the dark about where or how to post them for interested parties to view. Any simple solution for this issue would be appreciated- lib

Easy. All you need is a photo hosting spot and then put the links here.

For example, you can go to tinypic.com and upload pictures free and put the links here. The first one gives you the tinypic page and the second one gives you one the picture.

One added note, if you change the drivers side mirror it should already have a backer plate with holes threaded in it which will save you removing the interior. Rik's have been a good outfit to work with and ship quickly.

Put you photos up on

I posted fotos of project today at Photoworks. It was successful, in my opinion. Check it out at;

Project on car worked, but previous link I posted didn't. Link that works (hopefully):

Link appears to work best when pasted into browser address- lib

I appreciate the response, Dad. The entire project and driving the car back home were an enjoyable event. Now, if I could just get the rings to seat..... lib

Great photos. Looks like you did a lot of work to return it to driving. I know we have all heard you on here asking for help constantly, but it looks like it was well worth it, especially from the look on that last picture.

I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. If it hadn't been for all the knowledge and ideas that the members of this group shared with me, my trusty shop manual, and a very mechanically talented friend of mine, the results probably wouldn't have been as successful. I appreciate the patience and understanding that the majority of members allowed me. I felt at times some people might doubt if I even had a car, as it went on for so long. You are right about that last photo. I've sent in a print order of various sizes of that shot and plan to frame a print for my son and myself. It truly pictures a moment in a great run together and will always generate a smile in me when I see it- lib
