    I need to get all four door handles removed so that I can paint. I have had the front passenger handle off in the past but I am working on the front drivers side handle. I have one clip open but there does not appear to be a second. Can anyone shed some light or provide some pointers?
    Thanks.

    Trying to stay pretty close to stock now. Just a few bolt-ons for fun.
    Trying to keep it alive, pretty, and fun.

    Not much came up but this is an excerpt from a write-up on swapping in some other type of handle.

    8. now remove the two 10mm bolts holding in the door handle



    9. now carefully remove the door handle from the car until the rods prevent it from coming out any farther



    10. now follow the handle rod down till you find the locking clip, it's black and a though bugger, but a little brute force and it'll pop open



    11. now take a razor blade and break off the locking tabs (do this now for the rear handles as well
