    Great work on the door. This is almost exactly what I originally intended for my car...until I started adding up a pound here, a few ounces there, and all of a sudden I had a couple of hundred pounds added to the car (for street use and safety) that I never wanted. So I went with the originally designed aluminum piano hinge along the bottom edge of the door. Your solution looks great!!

    Thanks guys, definitely took a bit of work, I'll be adding more pics today, yea that hinge, I did see one early year fiberglass car, maybe British, with a similar hinge so I figured well I'll keep going with it.

    The upper doors I had just did not fit the contour of the body so had to do some pretty drastic modifications, had to basically cut them up and re-shape to fit the contour, reinforced with internal bracing and metal rods, new fiberglass skin in spots, they look decent now and can't ever tell they have been re-worked so much.
