Love your taillamps!! Obviously you have a talented person doing your alterations. Are they Oldsmobile? Just guessing here, but they are way cool.
One question about the door handles tho, (They look great btw!)...Did you have any clearance issues to the glass?
Most times builders don't really discuss issues with owners unless it is a realy big deal and could get expensive, we just work around it. I have no idea if you are a builder/owner or a client so please don't take my comments as an offense.
Love your Truck!

I am the builder/owner and thankyou for your comments. I really love what you have done ,I think you have put alot more work into this one than I did.
The taillights are '59 Caddys and I modified the door handle with a backing plate and a "L" bracket. Then I simply drilled a hole for the factory grommet and used the original pushrod.If you get a chance check out my website
www.x-rodz.com and check out Sinister build.
I'm enjoying watching your build you are a very talented craftsman.
Thanks Lonnie
