    You don't think that there were shaved handles in the sixties?

    After seeing pictures of that 32 vicky go up in flames, it should be obvious ... handles.

    Id leave it shaved unless you find some cool trick handles that you cant live without. I definitely wouldn't go back to any kind of standard door pull.

  15. Get push bottons from a Lincoln. I think there are some in the cl***ifieds if you don't know what I mean.

    best of oth worlds, outside handles and no outside handles at the same time. Gennie '60s trick.

    Here's a couple of links from a quick search:

    I think... you worry too much about what others may or may not like and not enough about what you like. There were plenty of mild customs with the handles removed in the 60s. I sure as hell would not put them back on.

    I have to agree with Retro Jim, it gives it a clean smooth look.
