door handle dance

[Scruggs Family]

Huw and Brian O'... thanks for the clarification.  I've only seen the V8
handles in photographs with insufficient clarity to see how they are
attached.  Appears to be a rather ambitious project to adapt them to my car
so I'll put that on 'the list' just after 'add Euro bumper.'  Would smooth
and emphasize the body lines though...

Regards, Gross
