Sorry if this was discussed earlier in the thread (I didn't read the whole thing) but I thought I remember seeing somewhere there are doors that can open in the traditional manner but can also go vertical...are these those type of doors?

I would guess about 90% as wide as factory doors open, but plenty wide enough to be able to enter and exit the car without any problem.
You really never have to raise them up vertical to get in and out of the vehicle.
The only time I'll be raising them to the vertical position will be at shows.

St. Louis is only about a 3 hr. drive, I'll check my work schedule to see if I can make it.
Would there happen to be a web site about the event?
Also a Big Thanks to everybody else that responded too!

I was having a senior moment - the event on april 22nd is in St. Joseph Mo, not St. Charles....it's about 300 miles for each of us.
I am still going tentative only on my maybe having to work at 11:30 pm that evening.
I think that would be a nice cruise.
best regards -

The inside lip of the doors and fender have to be trimmed back, none of the outside panels have to be cut.
The kit cost around $2000 plus installation.
