      Having good mirrors doesn't mean you are 100% relying on the mirrors. It means you have another means of seeing what's next to you without taking your eyes far away from what's in front of you. You can and should still look over your shoulder when appropriate, but given how large the sail panel area is on our cars, you will be facing a blind spot. Sometimes you need to make a very quick decision on changing lanes vs. running into a sudden obstacle (like getting cut off or a car puling in front of you); mirrors are invaluable in those situations.

      I wouldn't rely on what people did 50 years ago as being the gold standard for safety; auto fatalities were much higher per mile driven 50 years ago. I really think you should give yourself every tool available to avoid accidents.

      I have no idea! I need to drop by and checkout Motiv8r and the tri-five sometime. When this covid thing calms down, I'd love to connect.

      No matter how miserable the original, I would take the original.

      I put late model camaro mirrors on so I could actually use them as, well, mirrors. Stock Chevelle mirrors are useless trash.

      For me it's about making my 60's classic as modern as possible and still retain some classic lines. I'm going with modern door handles, mirrors, shark fin antenna, backup camera, parking sensors lol the "keep it original" guys would hate it! I want the convenience of the power adjust and the auto dimming ;)
