Re: Tami's 51 build
I took some time this morning to go through your build, you have done some really nice work! Your wife is going to have a super sweet truck when your done. After finishing my GMC build I started a build on a 66 Chevelle for my wife. I'm seeing a lot of guys doing build for their wife's, maybe it"s an excuse to spent some more money on another build with out pissing our wife's off.

Re: Tami's 51 build
Ended up going with those posted, moving the pivot down caused needing too much movement on button, whats pictured worked great.

Re: Tami's 51 build
Skip99, since you are ahead of me, I'd sure like to see the finished and primered door latch project pics. That is what I was thinking.
I think my problem will be I got the large Bear Claws and there may not be room for them and the window channel. Also, what LED did you use for the 3rd brake light? Thanks for posting the pics. I am doing a 54 cab with 48 doors to get the 1 piece window after reading our conversion to the one piece window. Wow!
