Getting a Handle on Things
Today, I got the the barn after lunch - had to pay some bills at home - landscaping stuff... When I got the the barn after lunch, the boys were hard at it. Grant was working his magic with his truck, which is really coming along quite well. Bob decided to paint a door. I amused myself with the HUP's doors.
A number of options face the 45 HUP owner when it comes to door handles. Do you use originals (weak pot metal), period replacements (painted green of course) or modern locking external door handles. I chose to go with the locking handles for the security they add. I do have a set of period replacement handles but they will stay on the shelf until the need arises to replace the modern handles. On the inside I installed some Spaenaur specials that look like the original "ford" style door handles, but are much more robust. I do have one original interior handle and three modified ford handles, but again chose to go with something a little more solid for the time being.
