@ Tallon
thanks for that link,  i dont spend any time over there since they banned me, so i have been missing a few things i guess.
yes i have cut the rear quarter and relocated the body line as well widened the upper flat to accommodate the notch and the oem batwings.
this was hardly a walk in the park and i am still in process...of one side... havent touched the other side just in case something goes sideways...  but as soon as my sail panels come in i will be able to finish the valley area and fill up the voids.
i will upload some pics of what i have done/undone/cut up/rebuilt etc.

This is as close as I can get you will just need to photoshop the tape measure out and turn it sideways  :LL:

I know murcieme's weren't right but thought for sure Watson's would be. http://www.madmechanics.com/forum/build-diaries/15683-ad-lp-640-build-25.html
Maybe String has more accurate drawings.
Are you widening the whole shoulder on the door and quarter? Would love to know an easy way to do that :o

@ No Bull, Thank you,  its good to be back in the saddle again, but it was a nice 2 or 3 weeks off and all those other things that happened!!  ;)

@ Anyone else....
i am looking for the OEM physical dimensions of the outside door handles and possibly the cross sectional diameter of the landing they sit in.

i have several from various sources over the years but none seem to match.
thanks.

you guys have excellent pictures of this area... yes i believe it is the outside or engine bay side of the window.
and just in case i am slow to respond, i am presently on a distant island for the next two weeks in the middle of the Pacific Ocean fulfilling a previous engagement...
so i wont have any updates on things i am working on for the next little bit... unless its a fancy drink with a pretty flower in it....or a sun burn,

That's where the interior panel I was talking about goes. The window frame panel is tack welded to the outside. That's what you ordered right or something else?
Sorry if this is someone's chassis they all look the same :S

is there some way to add to the existing tubing rather than change it out?
