wing doors
I was thinking about wing doors for my monte, i thought it would be a very practical solution to the very obviouse problem of having doors so large, i was bull****ing about it with my brother in law, and he thinks they're to heavy, but i believe it can be done, has anyone done it around here? an what did it run ya, or what would you think it'd cost?
i've found this site

Here is a vertical door:
his makes it extremely hard to get in and out of the car. What you want in vertical doors is more like this:
Notice how these only open part way, or about 45 degrees. T

from that site he linked, i also found it on google a bit ago and was thinking that's not a bad beat for what it is. the lambo kits aren't even breaking below 1000, so 599$ with 75$ shipping aint bad, but will this kit truly fit is my only concearn and how much drilling and modding is really need, your just putting a new hindge on basicly and maybe a longer ruber gasket for the wire harness.

There is not enough of a structure around the windows to support these big heavy doors enough to make them gull wing doors. You would have to reinforce the frame around the windows or the first time you opened the doors, it would bend the frame and break the glass. How are your metal fabrication skills?

No I mean the structure around the window on the door wont be strong enough the hold the door in the air without bending.
I may be confused, are you talking about the lambo doors or the gull wing doors. I am talking about if you did gull wing doors.
