Re: Wanted

John and John do a suicide door hahahaha
to get the hinges far enough apart to be stable we cut lower cab corner out and will be boxing it in around the hinge once complete





pockets started and door swangin....notice the slot between hinges we cut it then inserted a 1/4" plate to tie upper and lower hinge together and also tie into skin

back door jamb cut out and formed with 1/4" plate then all of it rough bodyworked


suicide do suicide doe

not even close to touching cab

start of the latch.........using stock one since only one door is getting suicided
