Default Another mod.....doors!!!

I've been working on these all day, and just need to do a few more adjustments on the drivers side. The kit is from dream car customs. It is VERY well designed and built. One of the best I've seen. It's very easy to install, just a little tedious getting everything lined up. Took about 6 tries on the passenger side. It got dark out and started raining otherwise I would have had the drivers side done. All that's left is to adjust the door up just a bit.

Best of all theres no cutting of the fenders!!! On there new kit you need to trim a small piece on the door. It has no effect on anything, and when installed you cant see it. Heres the pics. Ill get more when the drivers side is done and the cars cleaned.










Heres the tab thats got to be trimmed

Nice Job Matt

Welcome to the club
Be prepared to answer alot of questions at car shows.

Take some pics when you get them adjusted. I would like to see if they go up as high as my GT Factory set do. I always have people asking me for info on the doors and GT Factory does not sell the kit I have anymore.

Dennis

That is one project I'm looking forward too. I watched the web video and it looks so simple even a caveman could do it.

Looks good. I contemplated doing that mod, but with everything else going on it was not on my priority list.

How much for your driver's side stock door hinges ?

I've got a buddy who has a broken one.

Thanks,
Tony
