Looks nice except the thin strip used at the hinge. Curious why you went so small there.

its 3/16 cold plate..realy stough stuff, and they are not finished, have to build the pass side door and add gussets to it. but i can open them as-is and sit on them with no deflection. they just look small compared to the 1 1/2 tube.

These doors are for my 88 4 door.so they fit a 87~96. I haven't had access to a 97up to test fit and match the latches to yet. But would like to find on and get matching latches for them as we'll.
