I bought a inexpensive mirror from Mid America if memory serves. It has a template with the mirror that worked very well. Maybe you can get one from them.

I had a template for right hand mirror
Was trying to see if left and right were the same as there was no mounting point for my left hand mirror
Holes long since filled
Anyway
Past all that now.

I got to drive it from the body shop to the tire shop and back. Appx five miles.
1 does not like 28 degree weather. Ran like crap until it warmed up. Though maybe just cabin fever from sitting so long.
2 steering is very quick. Turn signal doesn't cancel unless you make a sharp turn.
3 engine started smoking because of finger tightened valve cover bolt on passenger side :-)
4 I couldn't figure out how to get the wheels to not spin in first. Even sitting in front of a cop at a light I couldn't keep the wheels quiet.
5 loses rolling traction effortlessly through 3rd (i.e. Punch gas while coasting in 3rd), never got going fast enough to try 4th.
6 installing RetroSound stereo was a complete waste of money (pipes too loud).

I'm just glad the guy with the blue lights had something better to do. It would have sucked to get a ticket the first day.
Vette looks sweet Ben. Well worth all your effort. Just FYI. the roar of the
Motor with those pipes. Is the music. I wear ear buds and still get drowned out. Radio is for parking. enjoy
