Shaved door handles

Equinox · 10-22-2009, 11:04 AM

From what I understand - If you go to a quarter mile or eighth mile track that is even slightly regulated, they will not let your drag race with completely shaved door handles, as when you flip your car or something, the rescure crew can't open the doors. Mind you there are plenty of backwood redneck tracks don't tech inspect or even look at the car

...that looks awesome. Sweet paint job, Mike!

Ok so the car is in the shop for the next several days/weeks and here is the deal. I talked with Jeff the owner and we may have found a way to keep everything OEM minus the door handles. We have fount the ideal place for a hidden button and a place for the key in case your battery goes dead.

We will be pulling the button mechanism out of the handle and will be placing the button on the bottom side of the side view mirror mounts (not in the mirrors). Thus making the car legal for track use

also, the Key hole will be located next to the license plate in the gap area to release the hatch

Jeff will be pulling the car apart tomorrow and we will see what kind of trouble we can get into from there!

Oh man there are soooo many advantages to this design I am EXCITED!!!!

Nice bullit, btw which kit did you decide to get?

bullitt5897 · 10-23-2009, 11:00 AM

I havent decided... we are looking into retaining everything OEM while just adding poppers to open the door!

despite this being a zombie thread, technically, I'd actually want to see a video of how to operate the door without the handles there
