    Does anyone have a recommendation of how to add and additional mirror to the passenger side of my 70' WildCat? What are some possible routes to take etc? I Was thinking of taking the mirrors off of a GS.

    I added a remote mirror to the passengers side of my '64 Riviera. It was not hard actually since the mirrors (even the non remote) are reversable in most designs. To do it I made a template out of posterboard that fit along the lower window moulding and the front edge of the door and marked the holes drilled in the doorskin for the alignment stud, remote mirror cable and mounting screws. After marking the holes I cut them out and fliped the template over to mark and drill the holes in the passengers door skin. The easiest way to get it right was to drill the alignment stud hole first, put a lineup pin in it and move the bracket around till its where you want it as far as straight then drill 1 of the screw holes and screw it down and use the bracket as a guide for the last one. I then put the cable hole in the door since it just needs to be approximately in the same spot. I'll get pictures after I figure out how to make gaskets for them.
