Handles database up and running... (finally)

I found myself looking for information on door handles and window crank stuff for a buddy of mine who is doing a 50 Chevy low rider. I looked, schemed, whined, and finally figured that the information I was looking for wasn't available on the web.
SO, "Handles R Us" was born.
I'm attempting create the ultimate database (with pictures, of course) of interior and exterior door handles, window crank handles and wing vent handles and cranks.
This is moving along nicely and any help, contributions, complaints, or beer would be appreciated. A lot of the pictures have been contributed and some I am taking myself at shows, cruise nights, etc.
Stop by, take a look, drop me a pic and description if you can.

Many thanks,

Hey Jim,

The database looks good. I'm sure this was a major job trying to identify all these handles and such but somebody had to do it. I'm glad you did it and thank you for the info. I believe this will be a valuable tool for car people. Keep up the good work!

Why thanks Smitty.
It keeps me off the streets when it's raining and I can't drive my car.

Thanks Jason,
it's coming along. I've got some more pics I'm taking tonight at cruise night to bolster the database.
You guys are linked at mine too.

Hey Smitty, nice work!
Have you posted this on the Ahooga board? They could find it useful indeed as their board is about early ford restoration only!

Well I would like to say it was my work but it wasn't. All the credit goes to Jim. This is his handy work and that website belongs to him. You can visit Smitty's Rod & Custom at: http://home.sprynet.com/~fullhouse
