Give me a break guys..DH was a drag rqacer..a very good one at that..The guy doesn't have time or the energy to put door handles on non-existent doors, or mid season have another body mold made for a back up car, when he already has the use of a back up car...1 guy = 3 or maybe 4 cars if you account for the 1967 car???? IMO not likely...

Wait a minute... You are claiming he didn't have time to add a door handle to a one piece body, but he DID have time to paint the same car 15 different ways, add/remove spoiler veins, change tail lights, etc.?

btw, couldn't the door handle serve to aid in lowering/raising the body into position?

I would guess you could try to use the handle to raise and lower the body, but wouldn't you think if that is the purpose of it,there would be one on each side..that way 2 people could do it and lessen the chance for body damage..if one person trys to raise the body, I would think there is a very real chance on torquing the body and cracking it..Also why don't you see other cars with these handles if that is the way to raise and lower the body..even today...I honestly don't think this question is that complicated...
