ok i would try and slowly try and chip it away if it is just like puddy. u will have to buy some touch up paint cause will definitly scratch the **** out of it if u do. otherwise your could get a whole new handle and lock from a yard.

It looks like JB Weld to me too. I would say go to junk yard and pick up new hanldes/lo9ck units. Then get a locsmith to make you a key for the doors. If you dont like two keys then take the ignition and trunk off the same car at the junk yard. If you can get the locks out then try chiseling them you might be able to get that stuff off. Nice red tho i like it get us some more pics of your car

damn man that sucks. ****** kids.
i wouldn't try scraping that ****, looks likes it messed up beyond repair. just go to some junkyard and get some new handles. it'll be a pain in the *** to swap if you're lazy like me. but hey, no used car is perfect.
if you got extra cash, i'd go for the keyless alarm and rear lock-less handles.

I like the shaved door handle idea. Just get a good kit or else you will be locked out. over 40 lbs should do it fine. It would look sweet too!! Please tell us how you fix it when your done

you know what you do.. go to an audio store.. pay 200 bucks for keyless entry.. buy some 88-91 4-door rear door handles.. slap that **** on it... now you really got shaved handles.. it'll look good.. thats what i'm doing.. just wanted to spread the word....
