That looks good. What's under the hood?

I really like the look of "shaved door handles" but doubt they will pass "tech" anywhere????? Especially @ NHRA - IHRA - etc drag strips

Re: my 73 stepside trying to drag race

You might be able to fab up a handle like I have on my drag truck so the doors could be opened up from the outside. I have a slot in the lexan window but you could put them behind the vent window and just leave them unlocked when racing.

If the track gives you crap. The track may or may not care.
