Default 68 Coupe Door Jammed

I have a '68 coupe and the passenger side door is jammed shut. I took off the drivers side door and I was gonna see if I could figure out how the locks work and see if I can somehow try to get the other door to unlock. It seems like the lock disconnected from the handles, so it won’t release. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

you don't have the special ford tool, the BFH?

1, take the BFH and repetedly smash the inside of the door with it until the door pops open.

2, or cut the shell off the outside of the door and manually open it thru the inside of the door.

3, one last suggestion, try to get at the lock from the inside of the door. take off the paneling and reach in and see if you can locate the inside of the latch. try to open it like that. and if that don't work try #1 again for good measure!

The first thing I would try to use is a slim Jim. If that doesn't work, then take the inside panel off to get to the locking mechanism.
