Then was going to go with new stock. I went down to a friends shop (Bones Fab in Camarillo Ca) and he had a beautiful truck there with new stock latches. I took pics of the door jams and interior. Went to close the door, and it would not close. I slammed it and still no close. I walked away leaving the door not closed all the way because I was afraid I was going to break something if I slammed it any harder. That swayed me over to the Altman latches. I was not happy about the price (crazy $$ for a latch), but they sure work well. Just barely push the door and it closes all the way.

I won't lie to you, I have done almost everything to my truck except the Mustang II clip. But when I saw all the work involved with the bear claws I said the only bear claws I will be dealing with are the ones I eat from the donut shop.
It's not a problem for you coz you got some mad skills.
I hate to say it coz he's gonna tease me about it but Kabwe aka Bam's 55/58 Chevy Truck Project did the bear claws and made it look easy, ok so some folks are a little more talented then others. The windows already kicked my butt I don't want to do nothing else to those doors but paint them, hahaha and eat a Bear Claw from Randy's Donuts.
