MRGOFAST Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Very nice build. Im back into looking for a 620. Quote Link to comment
Rubberman Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 A little update. Got the pass. door ready for paint tomorrow and the hinges sanded and primed. Also on the finished drivers door, put the new window felt in (from JC Whitney) and the new door handle from overseas (ebay) I'm having a problem with the key locks, I have two sets of locks with no keys to fit either. Any ideas?? Thanks, Rusty Quote Link to comment
slam_dat_sun Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hey Rusty can't you take one of the locks to a lock smith and have a key cut to fit it ? Quote Link to comment
