RE: Fw: 65 Satellite Mirrors!

[Tom Duross <tduross1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Both the 64 and 65 mirrors were more of a novelty than a requirement at the
time, imho.  I own both years and both cars have two and they're 'almost'
useless with their placement right at the vent window channel.  If it was
me, and for a young driver (and a very protective car btw), I would buy and
place whatever works for you (or her) and just fill the old holes.  Check
the vendor pages for repro places if you want to keep the same 'look' and
'feel' of the old school chrome mirror.  You can get an overseas knockoff
for 50 bucks but if you want USA made and the pentastar; sit down.  Gary's
got the drilling template for the 'factory' location but I'd do whatever
works, even mounting on the edge of the fender.  It's your car, customize as
you see fit.

Smile,,,,, a lot of unanswered questions befor making a  suggestion,,, you 
say the interior needs redone, is it possible that the seat is  worn/broken 
springs or missing padding that would make her sit taller once it is  done?,

if you do not think that this is the problem, I would suggest that you go  
to a u-pull it type salvage yard and check what is on other vehicles and 
find a  taller or wider mirror for usage,,,,,
 
 
Hi  Everyone,

This is my 1st post here on this list (except a personal  message to Joey) 
& I
was hoping for some advice.  Please forgive  me in advance if I make several
errors. I am new to Mopars. ;)

My  daughter just got her first car (a 65 satellite) for her birthday. It  
has
been really fun and a money pit. LOL!  The body was in great  shape. We have
replaced everything except the engine and the transmission  to make sure it 
is
reliable for her.  The outside has been painted  Hemi Orange.   We have a 
few
chrome and symbols that are missing  we would like to find to complete t=
he outside.  The interior still  needs work. 


We are currently having a issue with the side  mirrors.   She can not see 
out of
them at all.  She shorter  than the average guy (perhaps why?).  I have 
read that
it did not  original come with a side mirror but it seems one was added at  
one
time.  With her being a recently new driver I would feel better if  she had 
the
second mirror since the holes have been drilled.     Does anyone know of 
mirrors
that are taller or lean out  further?   Has anyone had a similar problem? 
My dad
came up with  the solution of getting the 1970's Porsche 911 mirrors 
because they
are at  an angle.  I thought I would ask here before I purchased yet 
another  set
of mirrors that possible won't work with a restock fee :).     

Thanks in advance,
Gina
