Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Now in going back over your pics I really like how you reinforced the C pillar. Also your choice in re-using the B-post along with the fake door skin should give you great results. Again very impressive!
So for the right side are you going to graft on a truck jamb to the front of the 3dr door to get the same look as the left side? You know you really suck! I have bad enought A.D.D. with only my own thoughts and then you go and do this to me Kevin LFD Inc. Last edited by Rokcrln; 10-19-2008 at 12:17 PM. |

Those hinges looked purty until I saw your hand on one. That's when I realized they look purty.
Also, see that thing in the middle of this pic. This is the source of your grinder's mysterious energy. Disconnect it, hop in the car, and come my way, please. There is much work for that grinder here.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Hey Mike does that single hinge have link so it is double actuated? You know so as you close it the door will swing right back around and close like a standard door. The one's I was talking with you about did not have that upper link and they were a pain and if not done just right it would get real expensive on the paint. These look good, what is the weight rating on them?

There's video out there somewhere I can't seem to find at the moment, but they appear to work very smothly and close like conventional hinges (no added pushing on the hinged side required). Here's what their site syas about them: The New GT Factory 180° Door System, revolutionizing the industry with a design that is sure to fit most cars trucks and SUVs. Its single hinge design is perfect for sedans which have a hump for the wheel well in the rear however strong enough to keep a heavy truck door in its place. Industry leading technical support is what made customers rave about our Diablo Door System and we will provide the same outstanding customer service with our 180° door system. 50% weld-on/ 50% bolt-on universal application for all cars, trucks and SUV's -Exclusive 180 degree patent pending dual stage left and right hinges with GTF logos -10x the strength of traditional suicide hinges allowing use of one hinge per door (essential for sedans with the rear door located half way over the rear wheel) -A huge swingarm designed to clear all unibody chassis vehicles (unlike the common hot rod style hinge kits only suitable for 2" thick doors) -Stay put operation allows infinite opening angle up to 180 degrees -pressed hinge pins on both stages with expanded one piece end caps -Infinite angle adjustments for open and closed positions -Locking mechanism to separate each hinge stage - Nickel plated finish on all parts -Heavy duty car side and door side housings for both hinges -Alignment shims & grade 8.8 mounting hardware -Four FMVSS approved two stage latches and four strikers -Special high density packaging to support the heavy parts -Step by step picture instructions on CD -Lifetime warranty -Industry leading technical support Last edited by Frizzle Fry; 10-19-2008 at 11:00 PM. |

Frizzle, I have been watching every update you have made on this. I was wondering when you were going to get to the doors. Looking sharp, good luck with the progress. Trevor
