I want to remove the outside door handles and lock assembly on my 75 nova so i can remove the crappy 1 day auto paint. Is it possible to open the doors without the handles attached. i rather not remove the glass at this time due to the constant rain

What year car? On the 3rd gen you can push in with your finger and unlatch the door from the outside. I'm sure the earlier years are the same. I've only had door handles for 1 out of 10 years I've had the car

It depends on how long your fingers are. I have a pice of wooden dowel rod to open the doors on my '70. But as soon as the new gaskets for the handles arrive, I'll finally get to put the handles on.

thanks got it off and a 1/4 drive extension works perfectly for getting it open. The gasket fell into tiny pieces even before i got rge send bolt out

One question, who is dumb enough to try to paint over chrome?

Earl Schieb has a 399.00 special. Willing to be that anything that isn't taped is painted

this is going to show my age, i remember when earl would voice over his own commercials and the price was 29.99. the local shop would actually paint cars in the parking lot

I remember those days and his ads. I've painted cars in the backyard.

I used Macco to paint my dump truck years ago and they did a really good job, paint held up for years. Think I paid 300

we have two Macco locations near me. before i pulled the engine and transmission I went there just to see what the estimate would be. i chose thr $699 special. I came back later that day. And they wanted $3200 for the job. of course i would never use them.

This prompted me to start a new thread in the BS area for classic car dealer commercials.
