Small update as I haven't done much with the car. Worked a deal with a friend for some parts I want which means big changes are coming to the car very soon and I'll have quite a few parts listed for sale too.

As I'm running modern door latches I found stock door handles won't work with them. After a lot of thinking about it I decided to go with electric handles and vette latches. I settled on the Lokar handles, but needed finger pockets.

To make the finger pockets I cut some MDF to the shape I wanted then started to pound out some metal.



After I got it roughed out I smoothed everything out with the planishing hammer and made the lines a little more crisp with the bead roller.



I think they'll look perfect with the overall look of this car.
