This is an original rear view mirror with a sandoz clock in it and bevel on the side. There are shops that can cut a 2" x 7" mirror but no one can drill a 1 3/4" hole in it for the clock and grind a place out for the stem. There are two vendors in hemmings that have an ad stating they can resilver mirrors but I was wondering if anybody use them. I know about the kits but would rather have someone else do it and know that it will turn out right. Hard to believe no one has ever had a mirror resilver. As for myself, I would rather have an original glass resilver than purchase a reproduction glass. And yes, I know about the guy that sells mirrors with clocks on ebay but his glass is not made right.
