Looking great Mike. The trim looks great with the red. I sat in the driver seat and my dad held the mirror on the passenger door, and we adjusted until it was usable. It's not exact, but at least I get to use it now. Then we just put the mirror on the driver's door in a similar location to the passenger side so that they're close to the same spot.

Re: 1969 Short Wide

Mike,
Truck looks great!
BTW...I wanted to tell you that I have seen another members passenger mirror fix for your issue. He dremeled out the sholder of the aftermarket mirror (carefully) that catches on the mount. It allows the mirror to articulate far enough to actually use it. We can visit on PM and Ill see if I can get a pic from him or maybe he will post here.
Mike

Mike, that's awesome! I've been there drilling holes on freshly painted pieces and it's nerve racking! Great work.

Re: 1969 Short Wide

Nice job on the trim and glass install Mike and thanks for the link on installing the glass. I'm definitely going to need to reference that when the time comes.

That interior shot is beautiful. Nice job. Your evaporator just disappears with the black carpet.
