Yesterday I swapped out my older RH mirror with one of the new ones, and it sure looks good. The one I had is a repro I bought way back, and it still looked good but there is nothing like New Chrome! It reminded me that the RH mirror along with a couple other items is why I got into bringing in the parts cars 20+ years ago. My car came with the dealer installed RH mirror, however, when I bought it in 1996 it only had the base remaining. The prior owner said one of his children had pulled on the arm and broke it off. Back then USA Parts sold them ($129 if memory serves) and bought a replacement.  So, here I am 20 years later replacing and upgrading the mirror again, but this time I was able to do a big order and help customers and fellow 63/64 owners.  So... here is 'Dino' with RH mirror with the new chrome shine!

Clovis, I had preordered 16 mirrors for customers from my Wait List.  Ordering in batch and taking advantage of one of OPGI's ongoing sales I was able to offer it to them for a flat $90 vs the $99 listed price saving a few bucks without having to wait for the next applicable OPGI sale.  When I contacted the 16 on the list, 2 had ordered directly from OPGI, so I had 2 extras that went to others that contacted me at that time.  In the end all 16 were shipped out within a week. As far as I know OPGI still has them for order and will hopefully continue to stock them in the foreseeable future.

Just a reminder for any of that ordered one, the RH door installation hole specs are posted on our Help Page under Mirrors.

Thanks Jason

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?

My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.

Many thanks,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

Hey guys,

I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
