Most embarrassing. Picture this: Just left Home Depot, Elky loaded with new 24' extension ladder, 750 ft of Romex, 4 - 50 lb. bags of salt and parked at Arby's getting lunch. Come out to get in car and driver door is locked and stuck tighter than Willie Nelson's hatband (quote from Dan Rather election night 2000). Not only that, it just so happened that I had the lock tumbler out of the passenger door, too! Luckily, after almost panicking, getting pissed and inventing a few new swear words, I managed to finger the passenger door open after fooling with it for 10 minutes. Whew. Almost stranded in a perfectly functional vehicle. No way would I break glass in this thing. So, I don't know whether the lock is stuck on, or the release mechanism isn't working although I think it's a stuck lock. Either way I need to get inside the door. Question: Anybody ever pull a door panel in a '66 with the door CLOSED? Looks possible, but I haven't gotten to it yet. For now, I'm sneaking in the passenger door and sliding over before anyone sees me. What a crock. Any ideas?
