Shaved handles and locks?

My car got broken into and they screwed both locks, one door handle already had a little rust on top of it, too. Ive wanted to try this now and my uncle is doing the body repair the doors, he's more than capable (sp?) of fabing everything up, but I kinda wanna see some pics before I do it, and also wanna know if anyone has a suggestion as to what to get kit-wise for it?

Thanks guys

Here's a partial list of ppl that have shaved door handles: (this is off the top of my head, so sorry if I forget some ppl)

Redraif
Scauffield
Flynlow
Me
Lowcamaro

Deadbird swapped handles and locks in from another car. It's a similar process to shaving, just with different results.

You can see mine here: www.geocities.com/jcargile2001/shaved.html

That said, a SEARCH would net you a ton of results and pics and instructions as well.

Here's an insanely long thread on the whole thing:

If you just search "shaved" with the user name of some of the ppl listed, you should get what you're looking for.
