It may appear to be advancing slowly, but that is so far from the truth! So many little details....
Earlier I mentioned using 'push button' type door latches- they would work great in a street rod where the button is actually in the door using only a very short cable but to use in a CR Cobra we found out it is not feasible. A tremendous amount of 'thumb' strenght would be needed to pop the locks due to the geometry and the lenght of the cable. (They use the same type pull cable as CR's used.)
So, back to the parts store, I went through four different types of handles (all to wide to fit in the given/allocated area.) I found an old style, type handle that will work.
Pictures show un-modified, modified and ready for installation.
Since 'chrome' looked a little splashy with Ed's interior I removed the chrome finish, re-sealed the handles and then painted a wrinkle finish medium gray. Next, we'll install.....
