A newbie question. Do the 72-on crashbar type doors have the indentations on the frame below the lock like the 70-71 doors.? My early doors are beyond saving so i might attempt to backdate some later doors.
Do later doors have these indentations.? Thanks in advance Dave  |

Might be hard to come by where you are but early '73 doors don't have the crash bars so they are much lighter but they do have the later style window lift mechanism with is much better than the early one.
You get the best of both worlds with those. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
