Wow! Thanks Bud! You make it sound easy. When I was taking the mirror off, it wasn't the best of conditions, as I was in a real hurry and I was working in mud. Now, taking my time at my own garage, and working with your ideas, it sounds like fun. I have never heard of a "metal hole punch" but it sounds a lot easier than trying to drill a bunch of holes and using a huge bit.
So, I was poking around the garage looking for tools and also trying to find the mirror. Well, I didn't find the mirror, but I did find some of my other toys that have been MIA for a few years now!
The first thing I found was the lower dash panel which is for an F body with the remote passenger mirror. It has the little hole and plastic grommet on the far right side to mount the control. I'm guessing the mirror can't be too far away from where I found this piece.
Then, I found my set of metal Ventshades off of my old wrecked '76 Aspen SE wagon from many years ago. They are dusty but in good shape, and the bag with the mounting clips was with them! The back side of them is painted dark green and is in pretty good shape. I'll have to think about whether I want them on my wagon though. I am going for a very plain Jane look.
