Re: lambo doors

Or the best looking set of gull wing doors- the Mercedes 300sl. For "roll down doors, there has been a few. BMW z1 is a nice factory model. Check out www.disappearing-car-door.com , alot of YouTube videos are about them.

Re: lambo doors

I've seen one AD truck with gullwing doors and it was not that great but that may have been due to the way the guy did it and the workmanship level on the truck. He had cut the bottom foot off the doors and that part hinged down making it a long reach to get out of the truck.

over the past 30 something years that my 48 has had suicide doors the reception has been about 50/50 Some guys think it's great and a couple even studied it pretty hard have copied it and improved on it. A few took it upon themselves to tell me I had ruined the truck by either suiciding the doors or chopping the top or both The top was done a year before the doors were done. They aren't without their problems and that includes having one come open when the truck is moving.

My dad (40+ year auto tech) always said to me if GM wanted it on there it would have came with it. The older i get the more i understand it most of its junk.
