Hey gang....

Seems there are slight differences between Challenger and Barracuda outside door handles... Since I'm a B-body guy, I'm still in an never-ending learning curve considering E's.....   Anyone have comparison pics?

Thanks.....

Here is a shot of a Challenger handle, which shows that it curves inwards, as opposed to a Cuda, that curves outward.  You can buy the Cuda handles from the dealer, but in a Challenger door, they seem to stick out a little.

You can now buy Challenger repops from Mega Parts http://www.megapartsusa.com/

Slight differences with the curve. The Cuda handles can fit a Chally, but I don't know if the opposite is true.  :clueless: For the longest time, the repro door handles were only made for the Cuda's.
