    Thread: Vertical doors

      Vertical doors

      I was contemplating installing a Vertical door hinge kit. I have not seen any kits made in particular for our vehicle and only universal kits made. I have been talking to a rep from zero gravity on making a set for me that would have the doors at 90-100 degrees or more if I wanted. Just wanted to know if anyone here recommends a good Vertical door kit that is 90 + degrees.

      I only shaved 3 out of the 5 doors because I drive the vehicle quite often
      in the summer and I have had problems with door poppers regardless of make or model in the past with other vehicles. It is such a p.i.t.a. to get inside the vehicle if something goes wrong with the door poppers and you need to get into the vehicle to fix the problem. Therefore I only shaved the rear hatch and rear doors. Plus I have other things planned for the vehicle this season , I am designing a painted graphic for both sides of the vehicle and it will be sprayed in Bronze Pearl with some effects to it in different shades. Nothing to dramic, but more subtle than anything. I also plan to spray the wheels the same color to help things flow. After that alot of wetsanding is involved because after graphic is sprayed and air brushed I am clearing over the sides again so the graphic cannot be felt and only seen. Also if I wanted to shave the fronts now I would have to repaint both sides of the car since the paint needs to flop evenly, so I would need to take all the doors off the vehicle, spray all the jambs, fenders and whatnot. Plus like mentioned above the track is very stringent on shaved front doors so I would not be able to race if I wanted to. So the design with bo over the door handle area. I will post pics of the tape work when I bring it to the shop and start the taping procedure after it is scuffed.
