alright so long story short my uncle bought an el camino about a year ago weve been trying to fix it up and the bucket list is growing by the day, he just had a new crate motor put in it and next up its going to get completely rewired and having the dakota digital gauges put in BUT before it can have any of that done im trying to get the doors fixed so you can actually get in and out of the vehicle without climbing through the window or fighting the door handle to open for an hour ( i got my phone stuck in the car for a whole 3 hours last week it was a great time ) now ive gotten to the point where weve just decided to basically replace everything ( hinges, handles, weatherstripping, latches ) my hold up is i can find all of the parts no problem except for the rods that connect from the latch to the handles and the locks the ones that are in his doors now are bent to hell and when i tried to rebend them back into shape they just bent again within an hour of playing with the door. can anyone please help me find these rods im not quite sure why the new latches dont come with them either
