I usually hang out in the c3 section. I ran across this picture and thought you guys may get a kick out of it. If it's inappropriate mods please delete thread.

It's appropriate that a Corvette car be converted into a boat since the monikar for the car came from a type of naval ship.

Sorry, didn't mean it to sound like that. The way the door gaps end and there is no bottom door gap for that door to open, even if in a gull wing style... That picture is a photochop.

looks like the door gap is on the body line half way down , front and rear of door ends there. if there was a gap on the bottom it would sink

Photoshopped. Note that there is no registration number on the bow and that the door side seams extend on to the gunal (moulding) that would compromise the strength of the side.

Note for my build, a gull wing door would work real well.
