Got to get on the ball on some things on my truck.

Trying to decide what to do about my outer door handles and mirrors.
Thinking relocating the original piece that was cut out to the front and keeping the driver side mirror and adding a passenger side mirror. Having the same indenture with the original door handle with locks on both sides.

Was thinking about electric locks for a while but what if the battery went dead. (Battery located in cab behind the bench seat.)
Maybe stick with manual.

Here is one possible idea if I don't keep the original stuff.
Something similar to this shaved look door handle.

Re: Project: "Full Metal Yellow Jacket" Build Thread
 

Ahhhhhhh.....
I think I will use all the original stuff.
Just use the passenger side door handle for the drivers side and vice versa.
Gotta reverse'em.
I think it will look good.

Love the thought process in reversing the door handles... I've been so amazed by the suicide door work so far, I hadn't even considered the handles. Great Foresight!!!

Wow, man that is looking great. Good work on your doors. Keep it up and thanks for updating us on your progress with pictures. Have a great Fourth of July too.

Re: Project: "Full Metal Yellow Jacket" Build Thread
 

Thanks fellas...
I'll make a video soon.
Once my ole' truck gets back together and back on the road i'll do a walk around video on her.
And a lil' going through the gears on the road.. teehee.
A safe modest acceleration of the T-Rex roar of the engine with help of my future exhaust cutouts.
One day soon she'll be ready for paint.

I really like the reverse door handle idea, and nice execution. That's going to be a nice feature when it's all back together.

Re: Project: "Full Metal Yellow Jacket" Build Thread
 

Thanks Mark,

Yea, I'm pleased at the look!:metal:
