Check out this "How To" Ben, it may give you some ideas for down the road if you ever decide to "lose" the driver's side door handle for good.

Hidden Door Opener

 

Can't say it enough: i LOVE this project!

 

Amen!

 

Thanks for the heads up Mike!
Thanks for the kind words Mike and bowtieboy68!

 

We owe you thanks Ben, it's great seeing your progress and being able to look over the shoulder of a master craftsman.

 

I wouldn't call myself a master, but thanks just the same :)

 

Well I was pulled over by one of Fort Wayne's finest tonight. I wasn't speeding, so I didn't quite know what to expect. He came up to the car and said, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" To which I responded, "No Sir." He said, "Well I pulled you over so I could find out exactly what the f#¢|< kind of car you're driving!" I have to admit I was more than a little nervous at first, but then he chuckled and said, "I have never seen anything like that." I proceeded to tell him about my project and he seemed to really dig it. He told me that he thought it was one of the coolest things he had ever seen and told me to have a nice night. Sure will! That exchange made my night!

 

 

When I owned the '69 Mustang fastback 428 Cobra Jet with the functional ram air a lot of law enforcement officers would pull me over just to look at the engine.

I was kinda flattering but got real boring real quick.

 

Honestly Ben, I've been waiting for you to get pulled over by a curious cop. They might wear a badge, but lots of officers are car people.
