I was thinking the same thing. I think that there's some production car's with something simular to that. I think it gives it a sleeker look.

I've been juggling several cars this week, #020, #015, #011, & the work car.

As the saying goes, "hindsight is always 20/20." Therefore nothing will be done on #015 since the interior is already completed by Mr. Mikes. However, most owners no modify the upper interior door panel since it isn't a real big bother, because most are painted. However, there's no more hanging your arm outside the window like an idiot. I guess its one way of preventing your arm from being yanked off in a accident.

My thought is DRIVE your car so you (and others) can "APPRECIATE" your investment while it depreciates in monetary value. It is like having a case of beer in your fridge. You may own it BUT are your really enjoying it?  |

Haven't had much time to work on the car. I've been busy with work and need some motivation to get back in the groove to work on it.

Thanks. My realtor informs me, "a house should have curb appeal." Well, that may be true, but my knuckles and fingers whole heartedly agree for they have suffered the brunt of one too many small entrances. No matter the time, forethought, route taken, or cautious measurements--- my knuckles are caught between the door frame and the big item I'm hauling in & out of the house.
Otherwise, wide main entrance doors and wide body kits fall under the same heading..."curb appeal." For both are rarely used to the extremes, both look darn good, and both well cost you some $$$$. Wow, I some how merged front doors and wide body kit on a Fiero forum. [This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 05-23-2009).]

Hanging with Orville today. I needed some "skins" and Orville has a field of Dreams. Thanks Orville.
After talking it over with Archie, it was best to start with a non- GT door panel. Thus no need to glass over the holes. Besides, I need a section for the side mirror opening.

Checking out the clearances;
Due to the increase curviture of the Lexan glass the back end of the Lexan is pretty close to the impact beam ( I only had the thickness of a ruler). The V8Archie choptop glass will no doubt be the same, but if it should be a bit thicker than the the terry cloth will prevent scratches.
the front end doesn't have any clearance issues (it clears with no problem).
