Doors look great! If you don't mind me asking, how much did they run you all together, windows and all?
Looks like you have a linked rear suspension...If so can you pm me about it?

offroadnut,
It is difficult for me to put a price on my time and I have several nights and weekends tied up in them.
The materials for the windows were ~ $150 - $ 200.
The paint and bondo is also difficult to calculate, as I did my hood vents at the same time, and used about 1/3 of the supplies on it.
The sheet metal was scrap I had laying around.
I did have to get a roll of 0.30 wire for my welder, 30 bucks.
I have access to the sewing machines to sew everything but I do not sew enough and wanted them to look good.
I gave the person who did the sewing some money for there time and trouble.
If I were to hazard a guess I would say over a grand but under $1500.
I will PM you about the triangulated rear coil conversion.
Cheers

I just noticed something on yours that I want to put on mine. The little pad that is there for your arm to rest on. I need to make something like that. How and what did you do to make that?

esteem,
1/8" masonite from hardware with 2 layers of 1/4" dense urethane foam wrapped in vinyl .
Velco with 2 sided tape holds it in place at the rear, door handle in front and it is sewn to the door panel along the inside edge.
Nice on the elbows

PS: I am going to have to start charging you for all these ideas !!!

Thanks for all the compliments.
I have some skills and fortunately know enough people with a whole lot more, Money doesn't hurt either, though that is drying up fast.
Thanks again for the comments.
