I am a mirrors on the door guy. Esthetically I don't care for the fender mount look. I know, not helpful, but that's my opinion.

Positioning of driver's side mirror
Can any one tell me what kind of sideview mirror was sold with a 62 ' beam , type 2 ? Where was it positioned ? I've looked at a thousand pictures and there are a thousand variations of mirror type and position . Thanks

The wedding is finally over, time to get back to the car. I found a good way to lighten the car abit as you can see in the pictures inside my doors are these two GIANT HEAVY beams. In order to remove them I had to drill out all the spot welds and remove some kind of putty between them and the door skins. Apparently they were installed before the door skin was applied, in order to remove they needed to be cut in two pieces. They have not been weighed yet, but pounds of weight equal horsepower to move your car and improve fuel economy.

Yes, dead weight, the doors feels like an aluminum door now, opens and closes so easy. Got that race car feel!
I was able to score these locally for cheap, that is why they are gutted and have a chrome mirrors attached after filling the original mirror hole in the door. I still have the original doors with the side guard door beams and factory mirrors. I think the new bullet mirrors will work quite well with the convex lens attached as Jim suggested.
Here is the filler piece I made for the passenger door, drivers door is already attached.
