Thanks Guys,,,good suggestions ,,,,I have shaved the handles on all my projects for years, but they were all pre 1950 cars,, and I used bearjaw latches,, but I was just wondering about the stock latches and the way I would have to run some pullys to have the correct angle for pulling the latch,, Good idea on the locking lever,, that could turn out to be a real problem,, the emergency entry cable could probably run forward through the door post and out the bottom of the fender at the rocker panel..since the bottom of these doors are not exposed like the old cars are,,
on the window and door rubber... I asume the catalina and bonneville are the same?????
Thanks again Bill
