Default Shaved Door Handles: Yay or Nay. Lets see some pics.

I am considering shaving off my door handles but i have never seen 93+ fbodys with this modification.

Shaving the door handles would make a fbody look very sleek and clean IMO.

POST UP SOME PICS.

I think most tracks have a rule that they won't let you touch the track unless you have handles, so if you've got dreams of time slips, I wouldn't do it, but if your ride will never see a closed curcuit, go for it! I want to see how it looks! I want to shave my fuel door and antenna. I already shaved the front license plate cover! I like my cars like I like my women...SHAVED!!!

Haha, Yeah most tracks don't let you run without handles god forbid something happens and you're stuck inside.

I'm not sure how it would look.

I am doing tons of body work to my camaro right now. I already shaved my antenna and smoothed out the quarter panels. Now its time to work on the doors.

How hard was to shave the door handles?

Damn! I go the track often.

But i am getting tired of e/ts and the track car image. So, the 94z will be the clean street car and my lsx car will be track car.

How you going to put gas in? I guess you could fill it up before you shave the filler door!

well the key holes were already punched out, so i put a piece of tape inside the door panel on the backside of the hole and used bondo to fill it in, sand it down until it was flat. then i would relay bondo down to fix imperfections and sand again. i did this process 4-5 times until it was good enough for my liking.

Shaved door handles and gas door could look insanely clean... Or really out of place, lol.

I think that shaved key hole though. Subtle, but not, lol.
