Now it’s time to shave some handles off the car. These door are a one year only, 1967, that have a different latch then the earlier doors. They were all that was available at the time, and I cut the latch out and welded some early sections back in.
I used the latch and measurements from the early doors before they were cut to fit the panels into the 1967 doors.
The door handle patches came from opposing quarter panels on a donor car. Left quarter / Right door, Right quarter / Left door
The interior pull handles are also different and were moved forward and aligned
The latch was fit to the B-pillar and aligned with the closed door prior to installation
The driver side is starting to go back together.
