Here are 2 versions of blue wheels - All blue and the center blue. All blue might be too much blue being 18" wheels?

I like the blue wheels better, they period correct.

Thanks for the effort, the photo shop job looks good. Still on the fence on black or blue wheels.

If you do go with the blue, I like the black outer/smaller blue version. Makes it look a lot more like a period correct 15" wheel/tire.

Yep, my vote would be Blue with the black outer lip too. Probably flatten the black a tad to come closer to your tire color.

Mark, what is the driver's sport mirror from? Is it non-remote?
I plan to put a pair on my son's car but the driver's I have has the manual remote cables. I do not want to cut the original doors panels.

I use G-Body sport mirrors. They are remote operated from the factory. They have a cable on them stock. I make new mechanical parts for them to make them manual adjustable.










I have tried a few different ways of doing it. This is not easy. I knew someone would eventually ask the question so here are a few photos. To get it to fit in the housing is a lot of trial and error.

Thanks, I will play around and copy that, like trial and error. In the 80's I tied off the manual cable inside the door and it worked but I want to do a little better now.

Curious why G body - are the bases better suited for 1st gens? Like a better angle, etc.
