Can you put the guts of a right side mirror into the left mirror? I've had mine apart but don't recall what they look like.

The muscle car version looks pretty good.

Yeah, they look good, but that guy must be smoking something far stronger than anything I ever touched. 
 

Check NPD.......the 68 Mustang mirrors are rectangle which look really good on 65-66 Mustangs.
Not sure what they are made of (might be plastic) butt.....what's the big deal if you hafta replace them every few years ?!

RTM…I bet ya know someone with a 3D printer.

Can’t wait to see these in person.  I bet they are hard to come by?

I pray your surgery goes well Alan.

I don't know if the Mustang will make the bash this year. I am having triple bypass surgery next week and Emily came down with Rheumatoid Arthritis over the winter. Going to depend on recovery. She is responding well to medicine, but not sure of a long trip yet. 
Daughter gets married this weekend, so the surgery is kind of bad timing. Surgeon wanted to do it tomorrow, but did say i could wait another week. I was told by i will not be doing anything other than walking her down the aisle.
 

Hope all goes well for you and the family. 
 

My vent windows have not been open in 33 years!

If you like those "Modular Aero" mirrors you might like these.  some do...some don't.  I saw them years ago on Glens 65 5.0 and Billy Walton's coupe, thought they had promise but didn't like the way they mounted.  I modified the mount to set on "top" of the door instead of hanging off the side.  That tucked them in about two inches and allowed them to be mounted square to the world instead of hanging down slightly.  They are electric and the switch mounts on the driver's door in the exact same spot the original remote mirror control went.  I put them on cause I thought Jean would drive the car and she didn't like the stock mirrors...too small.  After 10 years she still doesn't drive the car but I am very happy with the mirrors.  They are mounted back just far enough to allow the vent window to clear and if I had it to do again, I would mount them back just a tad more to allow a better angle for my eyes.  As is, I run out of "out" adjustment on the driver's side.  They came from 89-90ish Escort GT and the Fox Verts used similar.

Those don't look to bad. I'm trying to avoid any options other than manual adjustments.

These are electric, Bob, butt (TS&T) you can adjust them manually.  Like all electric mirrors they will move on both axis when you push on them, and they stay put.  Installing them like I have is a bit of work since you need to shape the plastic housing to fit the top of the door and then you need to fabricate a custom mount to bolt it down.  With what I see of your skills, no problem.  I'm surprised by how few people even seem to have noticed them over the last ten years.

Your car is looking really fine, Bob.  Good luck, hope to meet you one day.

BB – I remember when you posted pictures of the mirrors you modified, great job.  It is no wonder that people do not recognize that they aren’t OEM, or store-bought units. 

Thanks Bob, that was a long time, and many miles ago.
