Frank,

I pretty much did the same thing - just swap the black buttons over to the new chrome handles. While I had the buttons off the old handles I lightly buffed the plastic to make them look brand new again. I just looked through all my pictures but never took a close up shot of the door handles. Another upgrade I did was to install the reinforcement plates inside the door. They made a nice difference in making the handle feel more solid. I picked them up at Carlisle one year and I can't remember the vendor's name but I'm sure someone will chime in with the info.

Great looking car you have there...
