my 53 5 window

ive been on the site for a while but havent done much posting and thought it was time i shared a couple pictures of my project. im still in the planning stages but know that some shaving, suicide doors, and bags are on the list of things to do. im currently going to school for welding and plan on tearing into once i complete this course and invest in a couple more tools - until then im stacking parts. i went to take it out for a cruise the other day and it didnt want to start so ill be spending the weekend trying to figure out whats going on.

on with the pics..

Re: my 53 5 window

Are you sure you want suicide doors? If you are--Cool--Go for it. BUT, if you are not, then check out some vehicles with suicide doors. They are very awkward to use.
