Any estimated price on parts??

I like those, they have an industrial flavor to them.

John, I can appreciate that. But from a manufacturing stand point, I really do not see the sense of making something that is identical to a stock part out of billet. You can probably get a complete set of stock handles and window cranks cheaper than the material to build a single new piece.

Just my thoughts though. If more people are after for a stock look, let me know and we would consider offering that too. The 68-72 under arm rest design is very similar to stock. We have these other styles on the board for consideration that would lend them selves to the stock look more.

Dimensionally, all of the new components will be very, very close to the originals.

When will the mirrors be availible, cost, and will black anodized be an option?

Any custom interior door panel is going to be thicker than stock and that does not allow enough spline to grip. I can't tell you how many cars we have that we are constantly re-tightening and adjusting door and window handles. Some have gotten to the point where the handle will not stay on and it is kept in the glove box until needed!

Well if that's the case then I'll definitely buy a pair. I'll contact you guys after SEMA.

I like them alot. I agree that there is a need for these parts. My only request though and this is personal taste ofcourse. Not a huge fan of the drilled ones. I like the designs you put up of the 68-72 handles on the second page.

Any updates on P&A for the window cranks. I'd be willing to order a set and post a review on Lat-G and PT.com.

At this point I'm basically without window cranks because of the thickness of these repro door panels.

Love the handles in post 13 guys!!!!

I'm with John on this one, the drilled ones look kinda chintzy to me. These however, might look pretty good in my 69. I would want them anodized black but I'm sure they are out of my price range for a cosmetic part.

We need a set of the mirrors ASAP for Jon's Nova. Any idea when they will available. PM me if needed.
