I’m thinking of reversing the door locks on my Packard Custom (with pantograph hinges) so that I have more room for the gl*** run channel. So if you think of a trunk, the lock mech is on the body and the striker on the trunklid. Remote cable operated internal release. But on the outside a release incorporating the mirror stalk makes sense. Basically a push bike brake lever disguised as a mirror stalk. Who’s done it??
I think this is what you are after. Search for Sectioned 1950 Chevy PU build by the user Noah*. Pretty awesome build.
That’s pretty damn good. Thanks for that. I went on eBay after posting and found a new pair of long arm Stainless bicycle brake arms. I’ll get them and have a play. Being stainless I can tig weld a base to suit. My mirrors will be on the A pillar not the door. So it will work even better having the door locks on the body rather than in the door.
