I received my outer GM door handles today from Fireball Modelworks ( www.fireballmodels.info/ ) and to say that I am happy with the entire transaction would be a vast understatment!! :)My wife is looking at me with a worried look - a guy my age so happy over some tiny pieces of plastic?? 
These handles are like an answer to a prayer because I have never like the blob door handles that most kits seem to have and I have asked and searched for a quality outside door handle. I mean, even the manufacturers are including them with kits quite often but it seems pretty redundant to buy a whole kit just for the door handles for another project. These are 3D scans of an actual handle so if you know anything about quality, professional 3D scanning, you have to know that these are of good quality. Joe is a top notch merchant, honest and accomodating and we in the hobby need to get behind him and let him know that there is interest in other styles of handles and other add ons ( door & fender mirrors, stock air cleaners, etc. ) for our projects. I know that he casts some incredibly nice tires and wheels and his reputation, service and product is the standard by which all after market retailers should be judged. I am pretty excited about these handles and at a cost of $3.00 plus a flat $3.00 shipping cost ( that works out to well under $2.00 per car for a two door, ( including shipping ) this is definitely affordable.
