Re: Project "G"
I agree Chris. I have just about everything Dan has made for the G10's. I know he made defroster vents once and hoping he will again someday. Even got the Skull & Wings from him, very cool!

Re: Project "G"
Gull wing on the side and somewhat stock in the rear ?? Sure would like to see a little more on how ya did that Chris, I'm sure there might be at least another member or 2 that might find the method you used kinda interesting. No exposed hinges will look very clean, what about the front doors ??

My guess is its a trick setup. Looks like 2 seperate doors,yet opens like a gull wing. That would be simple enuf to do actually. The latch could still operate like normal but woud still need to figure a way to latch the bottom corners in tight.

Re: Project "G"
I'm not going to keep it a secret. It's not done yet, but the front doors will be suicide doors. After seeing the hinges I thought maybe they could be used on the back also. They are still 2 doors. I just put suicide hinges in the stock location too give it a smooth look back there because all the other hinges will be gone so why not do the back also. Not sure but I may have done a mod that never been done yet???

Re: Project "G"
will had to this so that the doors would line up on both sides my bodyman had to make a gig so to weld all the hinges in at the same. He will cut this gig in half to use it to do the suicide doors in front.
