Default Tube doors for the Chuggy

Here's the start of our new doors. The plan is to have some lighter, year-round doors for the chuggy. The bottom part will be solid and the top will be hinged for removel in the summer if needed. This is taking some time :?





Some progress.








Finished up with windows and doors as well as air bags and bumper. Just a little rebuild to get ready for SNOW



With the air bags pumped up.

Thanks everyone.

The hood is very simple. 2 JCWhitney scoops, cut some matching vent spaces and a little bit of body work and you're done. We actually reversed them because we didn't want them pulling engine heat up....we want the air flow to push the heat out and/or back. They are supposed to be mounted with the nostrils facing the windshield but I think it looks better this way anyway. Thanks againe.
