Thumbs up Rearview mirror resilvering

At the last Monroe swap meet, Drew (Twisted78SS) found me a Camaro/Nova mirror for my truck. It was in dire need of a resilvering so I looked all around for someone to do this cheap in my area and wasn't getting anywhere. I found a few places back East and one shop around town that wanted $65 to do it. Finally I found a place that would do it for $40 in Gresham, Or called Cliff's Classic Chevy Parts.

I finally got the finished mirror back a few days ago. Although there were a few inconveniences along the way, overall I'm very happy with the final results.

Initially they called after about 2 weeks and said it was done. I picked it up and went to put the glass back in the frame and discovered that it wasn't mine! The glass they gave me was slightly bigger all the way around, so back it went. Unfortunately, I had to drive about 10 miles back there only to discover they had closed for lunch so I had to wait. I gave it back and they didn't have mine done and said it'd take another week. Cliff did say that he'd install the glass into the frame for me as a courtesy which made up for the unnecessary trip. Unfortunately, I had to leave for 2 weeks for military stuff and couldn't get it until I got back. So I went over there yesterday and finally picked it up. They had completed it and again, I'm very happy with the final result. The first 2 pics are before and the last one is the finished product. I'll try to get a better pic when I can bring it out in the natural sunlight, but this will give you an idea. I'll also shoot a pic of it installed and post here.
