Just wondering what you guys thought about this. Someone on facebook don't know who they are? took one of my pictures and shaved the door handles and locks on my ranchero. Nothing I don't think I would do but it is different.

	if you shave the door handles and locks, you should probably shave the marker lights too. make it smooth all the way down. just a thought. but I like the look better with the handles and locks, just my preference. Edited by legend onirot - 14-August-2013 at 4:36AM

	I had the door handles shaved on my '79, after installing solenoids to open the doors with a remote, IMO it just looks better. Good quality solenoids as well as spring door "poppers" will keep you from having headaches with reliability. Good luck, go for it. Todd Edited by aquartlow - 14-August-2013 at 7:46AM

	Ive been thinking about it. I do like the clean look it give it. but would have to be on the back of the list of things to do. And I agree legend onirot.

	The ranchero is down. Seats are getting upholstered. And we are going to put in new floor pans. Not sure when it will be done but i might go to the castle and if i do I'll head over to the drag strip.
