Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Awesome Job! Are you going to use outside door handles? Interested to see how lock and inside door handle rod turn out. The attention to detail is sick.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Will be interesting to see this shape up.... how are you going to work the doorhandle and latch most bear claws are a pull to unlock not a push I will be interested to see what you come up with...... the whole build is just plain sick so far.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Well what I discovered was if u use a left in place of right It puts the unlock mech at the bottom side which allows a push to unlock-Granted it's down 5 " below handle but I'll work that out--The slider to lock the mech is on top and seemed funny if i used it where it came out bottom--it works opposite of the door knob action-up on knob-would actually lock mech---not sure yet because of windows if I am powering door locks...(p.s no instructions with these claws so I had to experiment--found inst.on internet..locks were brand new from autoloc!!).....................jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Here's pic to show how the 1 gen camaro handles conform to the original "cup" of 67-72 door-----will have to move mounting holes in--and add material to end of opening next to door edge--on 1st gen cars there is no "hand cup" but it looks natural when put on this door--also 1st gen cars had a recess for both ends of handles but I think I can make these work without that recess.....The ring brothers handles will make some go "HHHMMMMM"??.......lol........jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
I have to agree with you on the ring bros handles i put some of the charcoal ones on my 68 they look really good.The c10 handles are so big and bulky i have often wondered why more people havn't used camaro ones!Nice build!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Well finally--got dash installed for last time--still lots of work to go--temp.installed billet ac vents (dont think I have ever shown dash since I added vents) and switch panel and ac control panel to see if I still like it!!! Dash will have billet inserts in that recessed area above vents all the way across-everything else paint --last pic is of blind clips I installed on cowl panel before smoothing topside-Nothing more than a fender clip shortened and welded on top side with about 3/4" sliding underneath--not pretty but hidden and really functional--Holds cowl as tight as screws!!!..........have a good week......(p.s notice my favorite part--No ugly heater box under dash--vintage air is installed in pics!!!).................jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
1st I want to apologize for that debacle last night at the Mercedes dome-As a resident of "Lousyana" I was ashamed to admit it!! Maybe next year-We get Philip Rivers little bro.as Q.B.!! Only got the billet defroster vents mocked up and more welding on dash............have a good week............jim
