Trique Manufacturing Product Updates

Altman Easy Latch Kits:
1947-1951 Chevrolet pickup kit is still in the works. We are just awaiting die press plate to be made so we can emboss the plates to match the contours of the doors.
After that we will be able to begin fitting the latch and working on the linkage. As soon as we get the jam plates in we will post some more pictures. If you have signed up through our website to be notified when this kit is complete you will receive an email offering you the first opportunity to purchase a kit before they are listed for sale on our site.

1952-1954 Chevrolet pickup kit will likely be completed before the 47-51 kit due to the fact that the latch will not be as complex as the previous models latch will need to be. As with the other kit pictures will be posted as soon as we get our jam plates back from the laser cutting facility.

1937-1940 Ford 2-Door Coupe / 2-Door Sedan kits are just about fully complete. All of the mechanical pieces are finished and everything works beautifully. We are just waiting for our new jam plate designs to come in and test fit them to the doors. If all is well we will have them run and we can start taking orders. This kit will come with a new strap that connects the interior door regulator to the new latch system. This had to be done for this kit due to the offset required to reach the latch linkage.

Banjo Door Handles:
These have been overwhelmingly popular. We have had a hard time keeping these handles in stock, but we are set to have a new shipment ready in less than 2 weeks. Nothing compliments a banjo steering wheel quite like a matching set of banjo door handles and banjo window cranks. These handles and cranks are laser cut from stainless steel and come fully polished. These are very detailed pieces and will make a nice finishing touch for your interior trim panels. They can be seen here. 
Ford F-100 Custom Grilles:
We have gotten several requests to see the different style of grilles we are working on for the 1953-'56 Ford F-100. So many requests in fact that we have set p a spot on our site to showcase the styles we have developed. We are working out a few headlight mounting issues and these should be ready for production. Let us know what you think. The grilles can be seen here.
