o ya shaved doors can be nice BUT they can also be a downfall... from the looks of it he was a amature welder... looks like door panel warped around the door handles.
i loved the looks of shaved door handles on my old truck BUT they where a PITA at times..... dead battery, fuse poped under the hood. needless to say since it was a truck, no trunk, i bought another window JUST INCASE i had to get in by breaking a window then i had a backup.LOL
what you might think about doing is some custom handles now.... if you put keyless entry system on your car you wont need to even hook up the key locks from other handles and you could do your own custom handles like from a ek or eg or any kinda car with a slight curve on the door

RE: Work in Progress
^^^thats a cool idea...or what a lot of people do is they will get the door handels off the rear doors of a 88-91 civic sedan. They have no key hole but are exactly the same size as the regular door handels..
just an idea since you mentioned your looking for the stock look....hell might as well just get new doors from the junkyard..thats what i would do.
