Very pleased with how it turned out!





Your Vette is beautiful and the flames are hot. Question: How is the fitment of those Lambo doors? Is there any issues with opening and closing? Either way, it looks great.

Thank you, the fitment of the doors is fine and no issues at all with opening them.
When closing the doors, you just have to be sure to pull or push them straight closed.
If you put any downward force on them when closing, there is a chance of hitting the striker area and damaging the edge of door.
Not that big of a deal, just something you have to be aware of.

You do realize this is a CAR FORUM. We all take great pride in our cars and like to talk about and show the things we are doing to them. Most of the people that visit this forum CARE about stuff like this, we have that one common interest that brings us here, except for a sourgrapes that drops in every now and then. Like Y2Kvert4me said, simple thing to do is not click on Jim's threads. Sounds like a big case of jealousy coming out to me. and

Hi Wild2000C5 -

You know, I thought your first post was tongue in cheek humor poorly presented.

"This Guy" stands tall amongst us, and has a car that deserves to be admired.

Jim - your doors came out great - thanks for taking the time to share your pictures with all of us who appreciate your devotion and innovations.

best regards -
