Re: 1967 buick special wagon

I went to the junk yard looking for late model side view mirrors, hoping to use the power mirror switch in the center console, but no luck. Every cool mirror option I found mounted to a sub structure inside the door and I didn't feel like buying a set of doors just to retro fit some mirrors. So I walked over to the classic car section and picked up a set of remote mirrors from a 73 cadillac el Dorado.

When I got home, didn't want to drill a big hole to feed the remote section of the mirror through, so I cut it off flush. Well, if you didn't know already, the only thing holding the glass in the mirror head is those tiny cables. Oops.

So I went into my attic and found a remote mirror from a previous skylark I owned, and it mounted me thy factory location without any drilling or mods. So I took the manual mirror from the driver's side and mounted it on the passenger side, just like I should have done in the first place.
