gbtr6 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I'm making a 4 door Corvair from a 2 door, and I need to add door handles, and move the front ones. Is there a source for handles, or is there a way to cast the ones on the car before I sand them off? Perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can-Con Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 If you can find this issue of the elCamino, it actually has 6 door handles in it. 2 on a tree just for the Elky and 4 on a tree shared with the '66 Chevelle wagon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use some Play Doh, push it over the door and drip in some 2-part resin. Some people make the mold with a thick foil and then drop in resin or glue, but I’ve always found the Play Doh method easiest Edited September 22, 2022 by CabDriver 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
