    I'm building a '34 Ford 5 window coupe. I would appreciate some feedback on the installation and benefit of bear claw latches. Also, who's parts do you recommend?
    Thanks.

    My 34 uses bear claws and I love 'em. The latches and strikers sit about 4 inches lower than the handles with a small linkage rod from handle to laatch. I used aftermarket, locking outside handles and some old inside door handles bought at swap meets. Let me know if you'd like me to send photos 34doorjimmy7_13.JPG [ATTAC
