Not sure why locktite and antisieze together? Something to add to your drill bit kit is a center punch to dimple the drill hole to keep the bit from walking! Always love your videos and appreciate how difficult this is for you! I hated when they took drivers education out of our school system, they taught so much more than just driving, like emergency situations, flat tire changes, how to use the emergency equipment in the car!
Mirrors look tight! Being square is close enough. Nice to have a pair of mirrors now. In the old movie "Gumball Rally". "What's behind me, is not important". says the driver of the Ferrari. Silly movie but lots of nice cars.
Job well done. As a 1967 falcon owner, I can say that the factory drivers side mirror is held in place with machine screws and nutcerts, however the nutcerts are attached to a second piece of sheet metal below the actual door skin. I installed my optional passenger side mirror with the nutcerts in the actual door skin as others have suggested. I believe the “sandwich” method would be less likely to distort the door skin. Or maybe it has something to do with the “remote “ mirror option my 67 is equipped with.
The only possible future problem would be the opening of the Vent Window, because it might not be able to open completely wide. In the Southwest we need “Wide Open” is so hot in the Summer. Also I replaced my old Steering in my 1966 Ford Mustang with a Rack and Pinion Steering unit, non-powered, Saved so much weight and now no “Bump Steer.” Thanks for the Video! Miss Ellie.
Ellie, great job by you and your dad. Hope when you get the Holley mirrors in that you do a video on installing them also. Keep up the great work on Carl!
Great job kiddo. I've been watching you & your dad since the beginning since I have a 64- 4 door. I needed the plastic piece that goes under the mirror on my driver's side. Ended up cutting a black piece of "pleather" and it did the trick...for now. Keep up the great work ! I now need visors....$$$...why so pricey !!??
Hey Ellie, not sure why you used antisieze with lock tight, it kind of defeats the purpose of the lock tight. I do have one suggestion, look into using a backing plate with screw threads tapped in it. sheet metal screws have a tendency to wallow out over time a ruin the drilled holes. Most factory installations have a backing plate. I am still amazed on how good you and your dad have carl looking 🤓good job young lady.
I had to add a passenger side mirror on my 67 Mustang as well. I used Nutserts to secure the mirror. You might want to look into those when you install the LED mirrors
As some people already mentionned. Anti-seize and loctite don't go together as one is a type of grease, and the other is an adhesive so it's one or the other. ** BUT in this case, the correct way of installing these screws is with sheet metal threaded inserts. They slide in the hole and swell up when screwing a screw inside sort of like a drywall anchor. The way you have it screwed right now might seems solid, but it's still simply sheet metal so it's a pretty weak fastening method. When you get your led mirrors, you should definitely use threaded inserts instead of relying on sheet metal. You already have your holes anyways so simply use your step (pyramid) drill bit to enlarge the sheet metal to the threaded insert's diameter, then put some anti seize for rust protection on the threaded insert's exterior, and loctite on the screw itself so everything will be rock solid ! Check in your hardware kit from Holley, as most exterior mirrors come with the threaded inserts.
2:30 No need to be scared. I mean I can understand having nerves but you have the knowledge and skills to repair and repaint any accidental damage that could happen when installing the mirror. If the base of your new Holley mirrors have a hollowed out space under them, or a thick enough gasket, you might want to look into using nutserts or rivnuts (basically the same thing) instead of screwing directly into the sheet metal of the door.
If it was me I think that I would have used rivnuts like Ford did. Or you could be like Franco from the movie The Gum Ball Rally The first rule of Italian driving What's Behind Me is Not Important.
Mahalo for bringing back my memories of putting a right side mirror on my Dad's '66 Valiant! What trepidation...and what fun! 👍
Wonderful job Ellie and Pops, I just added the same mirror on my 1970 Falcon after watching your video 🔥💯👍🏽
