Anyone using trique altman easy latches? #682872 10/03/2010 6:04 PM

Rolling dices Wrench Fetcher R Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 110 CA	I am just about to give up working the adjustments on my 51 chevy truck doors and I ran across this company http://www.shop.triquemfg.com/Altman-Easy-Latch-1947-1951-Chevy-Truck-AEL07.htm This looks simple enough to install and claim to work really nice. Only setbacks I can see are that they look ugly as hell and a bit pricy...Anyone using this on their truck? Anyone with some insyall experience? I would love to see some finish product with door panels installed, if any got any? My doors are painted already and would hate to go with the weld in option for bear claws...
