Just a thought, when I did my quarter panel I stripped the paint off the whole area. That way you can see what you're working with.

Welcome from Washington! Good luck with your project. There is an amazing accumulation of knowledge of 71-73 here. You are in good hands!

Errors aside, very interesting, had no idea that they were used as police cars in Japan! My daughter lived in Japan for a few years and told us about the narrow roads and small cars over there. Surprising that a Mustang could navigate them! They must have kept them on the wider roads.

I'm having a little trouble with the 7000 mile number just based on the under hood condition....

Sounds like a good plan! The worse thing you can do is not drive um ::thumb::

We put mass-back in our vert. We liked it better then the standard ACC carpet. It seems to have more "body" to it (if that make sense) so it fits around the foot well and trans tunnel better. Plus, the extra backing helps a little with noise/heat.

Yeah, I maybe being too picky but buying these used mirrors isn't cheap ($70-100+ each ). Then they have to be stripped and painted to match my car, more $$... So they end up being an expensive item and if I'm going to spend that much I was hoping to be able to find/use the correct parts.But...

Not a T5 -Yes, I would never have thought it would be this difficult to find what is the correct sport mirrors for 71-73 Mustang. I think part of the issue is that over time people have mixed and matched the sport mirrors from several Ford cars. Now, when trying to buy a used mirror people are...

I'm curious now what casting numbers the two drivers' side mirrors housing I have are as I thought 71-73  housings had a D1Z number.  I will pull apart and check mine. As the other post says, there appears to be several different sizes just between their two cars...and Not A T5 had 3 mirrors...

Rackerm, That is interesting, my drivers side mirrors numbers end with an upside down AM. I wonder what the difference is between WA and AM on your passenger side mirror picture the housing number looks like C9ZB -Doesn't that indicate a 69 number? I wonder what the correlation is between the...

Stanglover, Rackerm, Thank you for the pictures and measurements! very helpful in trying to figure placement of mirrors. I'm 6' so will have to see how that works compared to stock location. I'm still trying to understand the mirror housing size difference and see if there is any consistency...

No Problem, Thanks much!

Thanks! I may check with you on the used mirrors once I can confirm the correct size.

Thanks David! I did get the AMK Rivnuts and tool to install (look like a pop rivet tool but with a different head)

WOW!! very impressive and LOTS of work. Hopefully will all be worth it ::thumb::

Hello all, Hoping to get some info/help on a few sport mirror questions. I have researched the forums for similar questions and got some answered. “Stanglover” and ”Not A T5” had an exchange on this topic back in August of 2017 but there wasn’t a definitive answer on the mirror housing size...

Welcome! What a beautiful car!

Nice!! Welcome from Washington state!

rackerm. Yes, they can be a pain to re-assemble, I have used dental floss on some I have put back together to tie around the brushes to hold them back as you slide it together.
