F1 shaved door handles.

Hey guys, I am just startign to research shaving the door handles on my F1. Lots of general info but not much "F1 specific." Who's units are good? What are some consideration and pitfalls to avoid? What do I need to do for optimum performance and reliability? I also want to use the bear claw latches (unless you know something better??). What size latch? Your help on this forum has been most helpful. Thanks!

PS I got an F1 roof I can cut up for fill pieces or patch panels. Will cut out whatever you need!

 

You need to join up or follow the Ford Truck website . www.Ford truck Enthusiats.com .Tons of of info on these old Ford trucks and alot of F-1 friendly people .

 

I used trunk release solenoids from mid to late 90's ford tbirds and cougars.
