Door Help
New to the forum. She is my new baby and I'm having just a few little problems, the most important of which is a piece that fell out of my passenger side door when i opened it last week. A metal rod, both the width of a coat hanger fell out, looked like it had been snapped. I found out that it served as the connection from the inner passenger door handle to the door latch. I ordered a new inner door handle in hopes that it would come with the rod and it didn't. Could anyone tell me where to get a rod (Did not see it in midamerica), Provide a part number, or is willing to sell me one? Thanks a Ton!

Welcome! Let your first response be from a guy who lives less than 5 miles from you in Yorktown.
The easiest way to get the rod is from Dick Barren at Virginia Vettes in Williamsburg. (Tell him Stephen Stewart, the guy who visited him on Saturday sent you.) Dick has an ENORMOUS inventory of parts and has been helpful in my restoration. Give him a call at 565-1972. I can't remember his hours on Sunday but he's very good at working with me to get parts.
Nice to meet ya. Did you go to the Hooters trip to waterside this weekend? That looks like the walkway over Waterside Dr. in your signature.
:cheers: Stephen
PS - Where did you get your 80?

Stephen,
That picture is infact from waterside Tony took it with both hands, while driving : ). I actually got her off of ebay, from new york. I got ripped a little, but compared to some others i've seen it seems I came out with a pretty good deal. Thanks alot for the info on the store. I'll contact him. Are you a fellow beachcomber?
