1928 Dodge Victory Six info needed

[RogerPHX]

I'm helping a friend to restore a '28 Victory six sedan and could use some help with info.  The door panels were redone long ago and we need to know what they should look like.  Also, I need to hunt up a couple of exterior door handles.  I'll be heading o the high holy days of Hershey next week, so if you've got some on the trailer, let me know where to find you.

You can use model a handles,  they are super cheap.  buy a couple and try.  I put them in a vise and heated the shaft right behind the handle and quickly twisted the shaft 45 degrees.  you  have to wrap the chrome or stainless with wet rags   I did not use locking handles as my car is a roadster and locks are not important .  the exterior flange or escusion worked perfectly.  for the interoior I used model a stuff too.  take your door latches out and take them to one of the big street rod vendors to match it up,..good luck

On the door panel designs I've seen a plain one in mohair w/ just a door pocket....also, I've seen 2 of these types w/ the perimeter trim along w/ the door pocket.....not sure what the original fabric or color was as I'm sure there were a few options.

Thanks for the leads--they're all helpful.
