why don't you just make a mold from a pair you have and reproduce as many of them as you guys need?
Although making a mold would be ideal, it's better to just purchase another one from someone who doesn't need them. That way I'm not copieng Ausie [original] door rocker but rather I'm tweeking it. However, I still need one more.

Attempting to make the bolt ons rather than glue on and mould. Although the moulding in will still be an option.
I'd wish you'd made the uppers too to cover over the stock door handles like on #020 and #015 choptops. I know several people who'd buy those in a heart beat!
Oh yeah, thanks Aussie for making the old style ones....they're being put to good use as you can see but, in a different location.

If you happen to have a couple more laying around let me know. There may be a wide body in my future.

I only have one Ausie door rocker left for a future project in the pipe line. However, I'll donate it to you now if you're making #014 into a wide body ASAP for the CTHC II at Archie's. Don't make me send it, cause you know I will.....hehe.

He he, if I didn't think it would add months to the painting process I might consider making #14 a widebody. But I'm trying to make it real easy for him to sand and paint and nothing else.
The widebody is a future project to be unveiled probably around the time of the 30th reunion

The cool thing about this thread is that it can still possibly get others to start thinking outside the box toward using parts for applications other than what they were originally intended for or get folks in the mindset of tweeking.

I've been thinking about using another set near the upper portion of the door leading back towards a rear notchback clip.
