Title: Got Inner Door latch Handles?
Post by: lambo_sam on September 07, 2012, 09:12:28 PM
Don't Throw away those original Fiero door handles! A builder in canada showed me this idea, Works great for both Diablo and Murcie's, Cheap a easy to do.

I've been wondering about this I saw it in your photobucket but pics are hard to see, not sure what you did to make the parts
what about the black box the handle is in?

I did all this stuff about 2 years ago and just stored it untill needed, I just got some 1 /14 width steel bar not very thick, got it from home depot, and lenght is about 3 3/8,  cut of the loop handle left the base, drilled 2 holes for flat head sheet metal screws, made them flush to the bar, bashed the rear end of the bar to curve around the back base just a little, and just a little bondo as filler then multiple coats of silver paint and gloss, as for the housing you will have to make a mold from wood, and glaze it, wax it. black gelcoat, then lay fiberglass, pretty fun easy stuff...

I decided to give the inner door handle housings a textured paint coating instead of the gloss black and I chrome wrap the handles over the silver paint. These can be used in both Diablo and Murci
