Still deleting them and plating over the holes, or are you deleting them in favor of something more like the ones used in the 50's?

I think He wants us to guess. My guess is they are gone, to smooth the middle out so your eyes wont get distracted from the rest of His beautiful work...

I would like it if the front handles were gone from my panel. That would make the fob bigger, but how smooth & clean would it be?

Can't wait to see the answer.....

Thanks for the compliment Sam!!! You are correct, I am going smooth athletes the back doors. Also have rear quarter and fender alterations upcoming and the rear handles would make the sides look too busy.

Here's the shaved handle. Once I get further along with the rear quarters, the removal of the back door handles will make more sense :)

A movie huh Batman... Who would play me? Although I would prefer someone like George Clooney, a more accurate depiction would be Verne Troyer... Lol

I agree that shaved door handles never need explaining bowtieboy68, but when you see the rear quarters you'll see that keeping them really wasn't an option :)

Thank you zman!!! It has been a lot of hard work, but also a great deal of fun too!

Instead of a movie, how about a mini-series, call it "The Metamorphosis".

Keep up the good work Ben, & check your PM for another Buick related goody.

Rear quarters, making me think of a horse. I don't have a guess, but will be waiting to see the trailer..

Mini Me is building this ???
