I have a 50 with clam shell doors and I'm thinking about making a one piece door.... http://www.hotrodders.com/vehicles/170.htmlThanks

My advice is to contact the owner of that Burb & ask them how and or where they had theirs made & what is use to hold it it. Because if it made of steel that thing is going to be one heavy mofo...Joe | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 | I would be curious too. The weight of that combination would be over 150# and the original hinges and mounting would not hold in my opinion.
I have seen several versions of this type of setup. One of the set-ups that I liked the most was a combination of the lift gate hatch and both barn doors opening independently of each other. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Nice 'Burb! I agree...that will weigh a ton!
I would imagine he's maybe installed gas rams.Or possibly a side hinge arrangement?
