I started fitting the altman lath to the driverside door.
If anyone reading this is considering buying an altman latch kit, I strongly recommend to not use their template when cutting out the door section. On my first door, I paid too much attention to the template, and I was left with a hole that stuck out past the cover plate, and still wasn't quite big enough to fit the latch perfectly. While the template is a good reference, I would first trace out the cover plate, so you know where not to cut for sure. Then hold the latch mechanism up to the door to understand how much you need to cut, then trace out a cut line. Doing it this way came out with a better result.
