design idea open for discussion

as you ISSF people know I'm doing a mild custom out of my 93 RMW. It is my take on how Buick should have made the RMW.

I'm thinking of a door handle mod....

I got these



but in 93 buick were putting these on their FWD buicks, I sorta kinda like these since they are round and would fit the period and look of my 93






Buick and cadillac used this style in the late 80's








So do you guys think chaning the door handles would be a nice buickish touch or just a waste of time?
and what style of door handle do you prefer and why?

I personally like the round ones, but the square ones would fit on the car too. It is a toss up.
I will play with some photoshop stuff and see.
I would get as much of the inner parts from the handles too. Bell cranks, rods, and what ever else is involved. Can't hurt to have extra stuff left over.

How bout new old like my burban. The Caddy ones like my hearse will stand out and I would think collect moisture around the wood,then blister.

Otherwise I love chrome and lots of it.

I am liking the gmt800 door handles too. Those trucks should be plentifull at junk yards as they are now 10 years old and newer. And you can get the chrome ones on ebay all day long

I agree that the more round ones would fit the lines of the wagon better. However, the truck handles would be a cool touch too.

Shaguar Baby! As seen on Foose's 69 Camaro. **click on pic for larger view**

I've always liked the ones from the 92ish C/H Bodies, but I do like how the buckets on the stock ones can be painted body color and blend in.

round ones match the bubbly look, but the square ones would set off those mirrors nicely. that and the square ones have chrome push buttons too.

I vote square to match the nose!!
I like the caddy's door handles from early 70s too
