VTBLAZER - While we're at it, is there a thread showing the tube frame for your seats being built?

No thread on the seat mounts but I'll be duplicating it for the next build, could do one then.

Here's one at least...

Re: 30 Second Door Removal

If you need/want more let me know.

Couple things worth note:
*Re-used the factory closure, so you'll need to pilage a door set
*The doors are built to mimic factory door bracing in both latch ard and striker plate areas.
*The tube running inside (on the angle) is recessed into the back of the outer tube.

Right on VT! Those tube doors are awesome. The thread lives on! Any new ideas on this area? Are you ready to fab them up and sell them? I'd be first in line! JM2C!

Re: 30 Second Door Removal

They're fairly simple to make when the blazer is sitting right there in front of you but it's a different story trying to make em in a shop and have them fit another blazer, the door openings would differ so much from blazer to blazer, it would be almost impossible to build a 'one size fits all' (correctly) tube door.

Aside from that, I reused the latching mechanism & hinges from another set of doors, those aren't available down at the local Napa anymore ya know.
