Thanks, Raj Guess I have to do some trail & error with junk yard mirrors to find a set with the right angle to fit the Elky.

>Heya Dwight... I can't speak from experience as far as the El Camino goes, but I can say that yes-- mirrors can be fitted from another car.. Specifically I know as of a few years ago Classic Industries (the Camaro people) had NOS bullet mirrors for their 70-72 f-bodies... They looked pretty identical to the bullet mirrors on my Chevelle... I know for a fact my driver's side bullet mirror is original to the car (paint was a 100% match)... However, the passenger side was blue underneath where it mounts to the door and way behind the mirrored glass.. Given my car's ...questionable... heritage (read: some unsavory characters have owned my car!) I'd assume the passenger mirror did NOT come off a 71/72 Chevelle :) I know they were popular all throughout the 70's and 80's... A pretty easy retrofit..

The driver's door I scored at the junkyard for my car had the regular square chrome mirror and my paint and body guy totally drilled in the wrong spot for my bullet mirror.. hehe.. He drilled where the old chrome mirror mounted forgetting that the bullet mirrors mounted down a bit farther to compensate for their size/shape... heheh.. He was angry to say the leasy :)
