mmmm me liky. even though there is alot of theft around here too i never locks me doors. something i got from my dad. "why lock your doors if the theif wants in they will get in either way? at least this way you dont have to replace a window too." im going to have to copy this once i get mine. what welder did you use on that thin metal? setting, wire/rod type? thanks.

Those look great. Nice rig over all. Do you have a build post here?

My welder is made by Chicago Electric and is very basic. I had it on the lowest setting to do the thin sheet metal but even on the lowest setting, i still had a rough time with it. I constantly blew holes in the doors and had to fix them. It honestly was not the ideal setup for the job as my dad kept telling me but we made it work with a little extra time and alot of pacience. Im not sure of the wiretype cause im not near the welder but ill find out and post if for you. Fallow the link to see the welder and all the stuff you wanted to know about it

Agreed.. this is what I tell my kids... Locks keep honest people honest, removes temptation. A real thief will get what they want till someone stops them...

dude, those things are...are...are...SICK!!! makes me wanna hit the jy and pick up some doors and get to business! especially since you say you dont have much welding experience. inspiration to all us no0bs how far is folsom from orange county? im guessing far since i dont recognize it.

Im suprised you've never heard of Folsom. Most people have heard of the prison here. Im right next to sacramento so its about 8 hours from Orange County I think

OH YEEEEEAH I remember now! well either way those doors are super sweet. if I were to get some jy ones what should I save/what can i hack without fear? I'm seriously tempted to do this

props on the doors man, definitely some great lookin body work.

Well obviously you dont need the window but other than that, save everything even if it doesnt make sense to save. im making another pair for a friend right now and I just put it all in a box. When I got my doors, they were cut off with a plasma torch at the hinge so I had the hinges, later I threw the hinge away not knowing later I needed them to make my doors easily removable. After kicking myself, I had to buy the hinges from a junk yard for 25 a piece. Safe to say I learned my lesson so just put everything in a box till your done. Good luck!
