Shaved door handles and atenna

How do you shave your door handles and antenna and still be able to open up your door and still listen to the radio? It looks awesome and I want to do it to my 84 Z28 but i've been trying to figure it out and man Im coming up clueless? Is there anyone out there with shaved handles or antenna? Thanks

Anyone with pics of cars shaved would help out alot Thanks again

you cut out the handles and weld in metal to fill the hole in the door, then you install poppers in the door (they're electric solenoids) and usually a hidden button or remote is used to pop the doors open. Antenna is about the same deal, there are internal antennas and such that can be installed under the dash that recieve just as well as an external.

pls keep in mind that you should figure a way of gettin in your car when there's no electricity, shaved door handles look dumb when your battery is dead and you have no way of getting in your car, and also, don't shave your door handles if you do any racing, most sanctioning bodies (NHRA, IHRA, etc) require outside doorhandles.

Here's a pic of a shaved antenna. The car itself isn't near being done yet though.
