using a
Dynamic CorvettesKindig-It handle
mounting kit, which comes with their door skins
Stock door handle & lock openings
While filling the stock door lock, part of the original door
handle hole needed filled as well
The
Kindig-It handles are really made for thin metal
doors and the mounts are flat. That didn't work on our curved
thick fiberglass door skin - so lots of grinding to get the
curature and thickness adjusted for our door
A
test piece was built to help with fitting the curvature of the
Kindig-It handle
the
right side handle mount is epoxed to the back of the door skin
w/the finish work to take place once cured
The finishing touches are on the handle opening - then a test
fit with the handle itself
looks
great ...and it is flush front to rear
...and it even opens the door - more work will generate a solid
opening rod
Driver's Side completed
Inside view of the
Kindig-It handle
- after this pic, we epoxied the around the handle backing
as well
Drilled a
hole in the stock door mechanism & installed an eye bolt w/lock nuts
- for the
Kindig-It door handle striker to work against
Looked at epoxying the
Dynamic Corvettes screws & plates; just for extra
safety - however, I have almost decided against it at this time
These
look great with the widened rear quarter panels
