First off, suiciding the doors is not for beginners. There is a lot of fabrication involved.

Now to answer your question, since my doors are shaved I have installed bear claw latches with actuators. I have a remote key fob to pop the doors. No handles so no need for locks anymore.

Random question that I have always wondered... what happens when your doors are opened via key fob/ actuators and your battery dies with the doors closed on a vehicle that has an in cab hood release?

If you have not planned ahead then you have problems. Most people either run remote battery terminals to jump it off or you can run wires from one of your door solenoids to a strategic location and pop the door with a 9v battery.

Tuesday dirt for the shop will be delivered and then the tractor work begins the following Monday!

**lolife99** · 02-03-2013, 07:05 PM

Post plenty of pics of that new shop!

dv8customs · 02-05-2013, 08:07 PM

Dirt has arrived and is being inspected by the Foreman

With what you've done out in the elements I can't imagine what you'll get accomplished indoors. Congratulations on the shop man.

dv8customs · 02-08-2013, 05:51 PM

This is what I saw at 7AM when I left for work

Wife sent me this at 3PM as the crew was cleaning up

aggie91 · 02-08-2013, 06:08 PM

They are not wasting any time. Are they going to pour the floor after the building is done?

dv8customs · 02-08-2013, 06:20 PM

Yea, the floor is next. Nothing scheduled yet but it will be next week. Once the floor is poured they wait about a week for it to cure then they will be back to finish it up.

Awesome! Congrats man. If you don't mind me asking, what does a shop that size set a guy back? I'd like to build one some day.
