Re: IMPOSTER! ( or hey guys I got a little jimmy!)
I did those about 7 years ago. At the time I wanted to change door handles and felt I needed bear claws to operate them. I had to cut big holes in the door and door jamb and weld a bunch of 18 gauge sheet metal in to get them flat enough to install the latches. I was just guessing but they turned out ok other than maybe how close the strike ended up to the weatherstrip channel. I have changed the plan a couple times since then but it’s way easier to leave them in than to go back stock. The only other photos I took are what I started with. I should probably try to get a chunk of rubber on that rail to make sure the latches operate with the weatherstripping.
