Re: A New 68 Build Thread

Here is what I was working on the last couple days. These trucks have big ugly door latches. Since we are shaving the door handles and putting remote door releases in we decided to use bear claw latches. We are going to put the latches in the jamb and the pins on the door. So I started fabbing them in. I decided to try my hand at hammer forming. Man I should have tried my first shot on something thinner than 16 ga. I am a glutten for punishment. Anyway, here some photos of what I have so far.

The stock jamb.


Cut out.


Hammer Forming.


Fitting.


That's it for now. Thanks for looking.
