I'm looking for a little friendly advise. I have recently completed the
exterior restoration of my '66 Crown Coupe Hardtop - at least as complete as
these projects ever are. I will post some pictures later so you can all
tell me how great it looks. Anyway, my question relates to the passenger
sideview mirror. When I bought the car over a year ago, it had a knock-off
cheap passenger sideview that I promptly replaced with a very nice (rare)
original that I bought from Lowell. I had the car painted this past winter
so, of course, I removed the mirror before it went to the body/ paint shop.
While patching up a few dents and dings, they filled in and painted over the
mirror holes. Now I have to decide - do I drill out the holes and install
the mirror, or do I leave it off - which is probably the way the car was
delivered to the original owner.
I think I've answered my own question because I like the "balanced" look of
two mirrors and it is quite useful when changing lanes on the highway.
Anyway, I would appreciate any thoughts, advise, suggestions.
Thanks! Jon '66 White Crown Coupe
