Re: 1953 3100 "Honey-do"
At this point, I had the latch mocked up and working with the window rail so I started on the handles. Once I made the metal template that fit the handles I used it to carefully mark the cut lines. I place the left radius where the factory hole was for the handle. this places everything perfectly. After asking my kids and wife several times if it looked level, I made the cut. I cut just inside of the scribe line and used a Dremel to get the final fitment. You really need this to be a snug fit so there isn't movement. It fits the contour of the door well.
