hey all i want to get my door handles shaved oiff the car does anyone know who does these ( backyarder if possible and how much) if not how much will a panel shop charge

Well you will need to get a door popper kit fitted (either manual or mechanical) and then have the door handle removed and a new piece of steel welded inplace, smoothed off and then the entire door to be repsrayed. So times that by 4. Its a fair bit of work. But you will need to go to actual panel beaters and get quotes through them!

Aren't manual and mechanical the same thing? Don't forget the metal around the door handle also has to be cut out to get rid of the recess they sit in.

But you will need to go to actual panel beaters and get quotes through them! the entire door doesnt need respraying. i got rid of my locks, if ur half decent wit paint u can blend it in. i did it ... easy done ; Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

im not fussed about respaying the door as the whole car is geting done but id like a rough quote on what it would cost to shave 2 handles

I done mine my self, wasnt too hard but bit of time involved.i just got a mechanical rod that goes straght up to the top of the door.
