Don't give me too much credit. I have a very accomplished street rod builder doing most of the work. I handle the parts gathering and some of the non-technical stuff. I got lucky that he was in between projects and had some free time.

You make that left rear door look easy! More details, please!

It's a combination of a cut down pickup drivers door frame and hinge mounting. Suburban skin for outside and suburban inner.

All latches are in and operational! Shaved handls are ground smooth. Time to smooth and fill holes in firewall. Not much extra to see in pictures right now.

With no handles inside or out for latches who wants to guess how they operate from inside? Does not involve a remote or button. These are manual latches.

Are they "detent" latches?? Push to latch, push to unlatch??
