Shaved door handles

Anyone shaved door handles before??

Chopped a roof?

Suicided doors???

yep?
you need some info?

I have a 56 bug I want to Do all to..

any info or problems.. I have an article from 1988 on doing suicide door using toyota hidge with mod..

Roof chopped From www.runtron.com doing it a 70's style..

make sure u know somebody to cut you glass, its not that hard on that car cuz the ones you will cut are flat. the backglass is usually moved down

Just take your time and do it right. Nothing worse than a sh***y chop/shave

Yes, I agree luckily the way i want to do it I will be having only flat glass to cut but not the back... () ...


going to slice behind in middle of rear quarter and drop the roof down about 3in..the whole roof will not be cut to pieces..



This is true... I have been doing a lot of research..

Where are u located??

im in the UK at the moment,
sounds like a nice project if your any good with a welder the shavings easy,
suicide doors would be good, just source a kit from maybe autoloc, or i was thinking about using hinges from the black cabs we have here in the UK,
cheap from a breakers,
you might need to reinforce the pillar if the doors weighty.

I've shaved door handles on a eclipse once, but the guy I did it for already had the remote door openers on the car so it was a fairly simple procedure.

I have a good article in hotvws from may of 88' But what is ablack cabs I don't think we have those here.. the article uses Toyota 75-80' pickup hingeage..

yeah.. I going to do a old skill style where you don't have to cut the roof in so many pieces.. thesamba.com is a great site..
