Anybody use PG Classic?

I purchased the 70-71 Demon unpainted rally mirror set ($405 with postage :shock:) from pgclassic via eBay.
They took a very long while to get here from Canada. When I got them I fully expected them to either be disassembled or be easily taken apart, since I was going to have to paint them. Well they were fully assembled and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get them apart without damaging them.

I wrote to pgclassic and I tried calling them too. Both avenues netted me no result. I should have known better that this vendor was going to be a poor communicator though. Before I made the purchase using BIN I wrote to them to ask why part of the hardware was missing from the kit (the threaded bolt that's about 2.5" long that holds the mirror to the door is not included in the kit). I wrote them several times and each of the replies I received were very curt and very rude.

My opinion is that this vendor is one of those "I got it and you want it so I can treat you like **** if I want to" kind of vendors. :thebirdm:

So does anyone out there know how to disassemble these mirrors so that they can be painted?....dartlover :)
