Looks good Jim, I see you what you mean about the pooch. WHich do you think will be the issue, the inner or outer or both? I need to watch those videos. Do you think this setup is better than the other that has the little triangle in the front corner? Who's power lift setup are you using?

well I'm back again.....another swapmeet coming with changes....business always gets in the way!!....lol....these pics aren't for the faint of heart....1st is of how door looks before welding old handle mounts up...R.B. handles are cut flat faced so did not look good on curve of door where old handles were SO....had to move done 1 1/2 inch...actually looks better to me ...in a couple of days I'll let ya'll decide....cut out handle "cup" and holes to an easy-to-weld rectangle.....last two pics are what it takes to make all 3 lock positions work with bear claws and 1 piece windows....That's locking with key-inside rod-and power actuator....all welded to bear claw for 1 assembly .....biggest pain so far.....and no I will not market these!!.....what a pain in azz...lol....also notice at top of bear claw....that is extra lever bracket added for opening from outside handle..Glad I took geometry in school...getting the proper lever action was the most time consuming...............jim

I modified my radiator core support also so that I could fit electric fans in there and the question that I had that I hope you can answer for us both is does it jack with the hood closing or not? Like is there any interference with the hood anywhere when you mod it like that? Looking great

Be honest ...haven't re-installed yet but I don't think adding that little thickness on the 'forward" edge would be a problem.....however will check it out soon....latch assembly is in same spot......thanx for the question...got me thinkin......have had ISAAC on my radar last couple of days.......jim

Cool idea for the door locks, I would just make sure the parts you use are either highly reliable, or easily attainable/replaceable...
