Altman Easy Latch

I just got finished installing the Altman Easy Latch Factory Long Panel kit on my 1955 Chevy truck. What a difference. Like the name Easy, it is easy to install, the instructions are easy to follow, and the doors latch with ease. No more slamming the doors. Cant wait until the power door lock kit is available. Chris has been awesome. Thanks

yea but

I am pleased with the outcome. The latches perform wonderful. My issue lies in what you were clear about all along. I will not be able to lock the doors from inside. I did have a lot of cutting and tweaking to get the end result and I suppose that's to be expected so no complaints there, but the instructions are not for as clear as they could be.
