Default Half doors

I was thinking on making some half doors for my Jeep and was wondering if I could get some pics of other peoples designs and if anyone of a way to make quick disconnect door hinges like on Wranglers?

ya i just looked and it does look like i can cut the bottom of the hinge but is the pin strong enought to hold the door without the bottom. looks like the pin is small and might bend and sag the door.

I copied everybody else and cut a stock door in half. It's a tough weld, slower is faster
