<VV> Re: '63 door handle removal

[chris czepyha]

I will ooh and ahh from afar.
I did not know if it was one of those items that is easy to take apart,
but takes forever to re-install.
It would really not be good if I got it off and found out it was a holy
grail piece missing to put it back on.

My first paint job I removed everything.  The second I painted over the
handles, like the body color look.  Ultimatly it is the wifes car so she
can decide.
