Half Door Build
So here's my spin on half doors. Not super special...but they will work and are gunna be easy to transport, light, but beefy.
So i just took some doors, and marked off where I wanted to cut, and cut. the front first.
Now the back doesnt have enough metal (imo) to cap the top where I wanted to so I just cut most of it out, just leaving a 5 inch lip on the outside to weld to and keep structural integrity
Well then I cut up some sheet metal to match the front design and had my buddy tack it down.
Now all I have to do is buy more cutoff wheels, cut metal for the top and cap it.
I know, not super fancy but they arent done. I am gunna put some 6x9's in there I think
and maybe a fancy lock. We will see. I am sure I will make more down the road. I am only 18 so I have many years ahead of me
