Location: Oley, PA | They look pretty nice. Is there any chance that you can provide some higher quality pictures? I'm sure they are great, but it would be nice to see what we are buying. $195 seems like a fair price if they are truly well made, but seriously, does it really cost $27.00 to ship? |

Location: Ripon, WI | Say what you want about these guys, but I know them fairly decent. True mopar guys that really want to see these old cars shine. They were crushing out all the non mopars cars first back when they were still a yard. Mostly into the parts business now though. Good guys all the same. |

Location: Parts Unknown | Another vote for 57-59 handles.

Thanks for the info. I know it sounded like I was trashing them, but really I'm just looking for a little more info so I can buy with confidence before plunking down $222.
I've been burned a few times in the past buying stuff online and mail order as I'm sure we all have.
If you say these guys are good, that goes a long way for me.
Has anyone actually seen these new door handles? Or seen and/or used other repro stuff from them? As I said, if they are really good, I'll happily buy them. On the other hand, if they're not going to hold up, I'd rather avoid the headache. |

Thanks Duane! Okay you convinced me. I'll give them a shot and report back to this forum. Should I buy them via ebay or through another means? |

Amen to that!
Most companies wouldn't bother with the small volume of sales they would get from this limited customer base. It costs a small fortune to set up tooling and production for these parts, so in reality, the price is quite fair.

Location: Parts Unknown | Duane,
I am falling in love and want to know where to send flowers. 
OK, maybe that is a little extreme.
Thanks for the service. I could use good repop door handles for my 58 DeSoto and mirrors for the same.

| We have the short & twin strut mirrors for the 57-59 coming . Should be here by April. Thanks Vans |

Location: Under the X in Texas | Very fair price on the '60+ door handles as I know from experience what time and expense is involved with low volume repro parts. Hoping that Van's will also consider the '57+ Chrysler and DeSoto door handles. I'm a buyer as soon as they are ready! |

| Our 57-59 mopar tank & sender have been a big hit. Therefore I believe you are right it would be a good idea to get started on production of the outside handles.
Thanks Vans |

Location: Eastern Iowa | If you folks are into sheet metal, may I suggest lower front 1/4's for 60 thru 62 Chryslers?
Maybe from the center of the wheel well forward to include the door jamb dog leg and OEM lap joint
for 2 door cars.
