they would still keep someone from opening the door as i dont see an interior door handle. cd player might go pretty quick though

I think the "lock" is actually the "handle"

Thumbs up

Well done sir. They look like you took your time and did them right! I must say that in the future if you are willing to do a write-up or a run down of how you worked it all out, i'd love to take the time and read through it.

Thumbs up.

yeah I decided to make just one button on top above the lock as a door handle instead of remaking one for the inside and the outside. Like you guys said, the lock does no good but I left it there becuase the hole the lock fits in is actually indented so even if I welded it closed, it would look like there was a dent. The funny part is, I got the original doors at a junk yard so I dont have the key for the lock so I won't be locking my car until the weather gets bad and I have to put my other doors back on. I really appreciate the possitive remarksa and I have pictures of the whole process if you want me to put them up.
