RE: painting side mirrors
With your yellow and tint yours is acually one ride that looks good the way it is. My problem would be the awful Ford Explorer black grainy plastic. I did mine right away and I have a black car; didn't want anyone to see my cheap mirrors. As far as the extra set of mirrors, well you don't need them to try the yellow for a while. Can get them anytime, won't be long and they will be an easy find in the yard for cheap. I haven't seen a GT yet that didn't look better with painted mirrors.I know I have a post out there (good year ago now, can limit search to my name) It describes the whole prep process and a few "cautions" on doing this.
My opinion: just do it, can go back to OE if you wanted. Not big bucks but big appearance upgrade.
btw, awesome look to your GT, way cool...

yellow, you could sand them get them painted yellow if you didn't like it just have them painted black again. then they would be smooth and could be waxed. going back to black would be easy and cheap since you wouldn't have to sand. either way your good looking car would look a little better.

Yeah, need to weld em in, prep for paint. ..no smal job really. Could by fender w/o hole but now you have to paint match the whole thing.
Cool, 55 swaping out the 292 with 428 4-speed. Mine is a 61 2dr sedan, 292 3 speed. Have added, T-10 4 speed, posi, 56 TBird 4v manifold with new 600cfm Edelbrock.CrownVic style dual exhausts. TBird aluminum valv covers, power antenna. Now doing body fab work, replacing fins with fins that stop at door edge; flush door handles from 95 Neon using OE fairlane lock set. All rear tailight areas seamless. Have CalCustom smooth bubble taillights for the 61Fords (NewInBox) ...freakin crazy find that was. ...coming along pass side done, working on driver side.
In my case I kinda need to keep the 292; bought the car from orig owner who was 83 year old woman, part owner of Ford Dealership; car was always kept inside for her and maintained by the dealership. 75k orig miles.
But I love my stang cause the GT is such a sweet ride. ...and I don't need to work on it. Time is always tough to find.
