Those pictures really helped, looks like the same latch, just with a longer connecting arm. Next I need to find drawings of the wood parts. I have all the wood working equipment a person could need and more, and don't want to pay the huge cost of catalog bought kit. Thanks

the slant window door latches themselves will work in the Victoria the rods can be lengthened and the remote will work. but if you want to lock the right front door with the outside door handle. that latch is made so you can not remove the handle if it is locked. all the other doors are lock the inside with the remote so you can remove the outside handles anytime.

You can also use 32 Ford latches. Although they are hard to find.
