Flush handles for the missile

[blue missile]

This gets me closer to being ready for filler and epoxy primer.
These are handles off of a forerunner. I like the flush look on the high end cars so these are mine.
first couple of pics are the formed sheet metal and the handles mounted in them,
The next are of the cups or recesses for the handles then they are installed and finally primed. Yes they will need a LITTLE filler, no sheet metal warped, go figure

Lotsa work but well worth the great look!

That looks really good! Hows it rigged to open the door?

It works exactly like the original, I just have to bend new rods.It has the same throw as the original.

Andrew, At this point I'm not surprised at anything you post, meaning that I know it'll be impressive! You do, however, never cease to amaze. The handles are freakin cool.
I was mulling over the idea of putting the vette handles on my duster but in the end it was just a thought and never made it into the "finished" project. You do some fine work. It will be one of a kind. I always lurk in your threads and can't wait to see it done. :cheers:

cool!

 

[63dartman]

Nice touch to make it yours. Looks very good and something you won't see on every vehicle. Good craftsmanship too.

 

[prodart340]

looks very nice, can hardly wait to see the final product of that vision you have in your head. keep up the good work

Maybe not the look you are going for, but those handle inserts would look really cool in chrome.

 

[blue missile]

8Barrel,
I happen to agree they would look cool chromed and that actually is possible because the handles themselves are made out of metal. But since there will not be a single piece of chrome on the car that wouldn't go here.
Thanks for the compliments, next are the high tech door locks and the side markers off of a BMW:-D

Quick post,
I bent new longer connecting rods for the handles and they work flawlessly.

That is too cool Andrew. They look factory.

Andrew -- Love the handles. I see you said you got them off a forerunner? What year etc, I was looking to see how they looked on the donor vehicle. great work!!! Thanks Derek

 

[blue missile]

I misspoke,
The handles are off of a 92-95 Nissan pathfinder.
Sorry
