When you say base, do you mean the "gasket" for between the mirror base and the door? I think we are talking about different things. Lol 

Yeah, 'gasket', though it's hard plastic. Not the pedestal of the mirror itself.

Ahhh! Lol. You are correct on that. The "gasket" they send is certainly lacking and could be done much better. You figure with a 3d printer they would/could perfect it.

Maybe it would fit better on a chevelle, but our cars have that substantial curve on the top of the door skin. They have the right idea though, it solves the problem of installation angle.

Chevelle door, 70-72 has the same curvature as the 70-72 monte carlo. Just installed a set on a friend's 72 Chevelle SS. 

lol, then they should have done a better job, as you said! :k

I love seeing the younger generation getting interested in our Monte's and other auto restoration projects.

Today we filled with oil, primed the oiling system, installed the intake and started modifying the factory cluster for aftermarket gauges.
