[99 to Life]

hey guys, don't wanna hijack you here. but I feel your pain on the doors. I can't even tell you how much work goes into those, its alot. anyway. I did up a prototype bolt on kit. I'm going to have these made in bulk eventually. It uses a large bear claw. I was able to get the inner door handles to work on opening and for the outside its just a pull handle (handle is stationary). The system uses an actuator in the door to pop open the latch. Similar to shaved handles, but you actually have a handle. There is a video on my build on page 27 post #674, and pics on #671. build page is in my signature the 49'

Something to think about. I'v seen guys use 52-55 door handles and put a momentary switch in the button, so it looks stock, but when you press the button it activates the actuator and pops the lock open.

as for inner and outter door skins. I made both on my last project. The outter can def be a pain. you'd need a slip roll or something to shape the metal. I see outter skins for like $30 a piece, thought about tryin them out to save a little time. The inner skin is really easy to make. It is nice to have the door all cut up so you can actually get in there and coat the inside of it.
