Polished aluminum interior door handles i made
Hey yall check this out i been wanting some billet interior door handles and nobody makes them for my truck....... So i decided to make my own  It took a little trial & error but i figured it out and got em made and polished they are direct replacement for the old ugly factory handles and use the factory hardware to install em.. Oh one last thing they are hand made so they are one of a kind Here are some pics.

Ok yall here ya go, I went to the scrap yard and got a pice of aluminum 1inch wide by 3/8 thick, took the factory door handles off and laid it on top of the aluminum and marked it where to cut, On the end where you bolt it on i cut about 1/4inch off the width about 2inches long, Thats so it dont hit the door panel when you open the door. Then took the torch and heated the aluminum and bent a 90 in the end and twisted it about 1/4inch that makes the hole line up then drill the hole to mount the handle, then i took the file and shaped it, after testing the fit to makes sure everything is good brake out the sand paper I used 400 wet/dry then 800 & 1500 then got sum polish and shined em up. and ther ya have hand made polished (looks just like chrome) aluminum interior door handles. 
OLD HANDLE
Raw Aluminum handle you can see the vise marks still on it.
ready to sand file marks gone
polished and instaled
