Hey guys,

Did a quick search but could find what I was looking for.  I need to get a drivers side remote mirror assembly for my 69, it seems several places are selling them online...with a variety of prices.  Are they all coming from the same place?  or are they all created differently?

www.beaparts.com lists it for 235


"firestone collectibles" on ebay sells for 195

Sames goes for the 69 Fuel Flip Top Gas cap...are they all the same?

beaparts has it for 89



Last Question - regarding the drip rail molding trim, mine is pretty beat up.  It was recommended to me to just the the reproduction set instead of bothering trying to straighten what I got out as its very hard to get them looking nice again, especially for the money.  Has anyone used the reproduction ones?  As far as I know year one is the only place selling them?  True?  I'd rather buy from somewhere else if possible. 

Hoping to get some answers quick so I can get the stuff ordered in the next few days to be sent out, we are on home stretch on the project (pictures will come...I promise!)

I believe they are all coming from the same source but I can't answer as to the drip rail mouldings.

at least 2 companies doing the miror
and I think 2 doing the cap as well.

Glad your asking this, I always wondered the same thing?  I see many places selling the same parts at different prices, if they were all the same I would buy the cheaper one, but who knows?

Help us here please.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

Interesting....

I need mirrors too i would buy the cheapest (duh) but if there might be a quality difference that can change my mind let me know.
I don't feel much for a mirror from wich chrome peels of after 3 years....

NOS is nice, turbo's are neat, but when it comes to Mopars, there's no need to cheat...

First version of the mirror was done by , I "  believe " Fellwocks several years ago. I've used it on a few  with NO complaints .       PG / BEA does the second or latest version of the mirror - I can't speak for quality as I 've not seen it up close or mounted.

On the Cap- Again, I believe Fellwocks was the 1st source . PG / BEA on the second. I haven't used either of them personally , But a friend of mine used both a cap and trim ring from Fellwocks on his 1970 charger. It was nice enough he sold his NOS cap and ring. NOW, How it's held up or looks today ?  We don't know,,, the car sold about 3 years later and is hiding in North Carolina
