Cutting Full Mopar doors into Half doors

[FishsJK]

Yeah - snatched em up for $100

100$!? You could find someone to trade half doors for full's there's a thread around here somewhere.

Nice work! I paid $200 for a set of 4 and the tops were all caved in. Surprisingly none of the glass broke.

But then he wouldn't have the full doors. Its nice to have the option of either and $100 isn't bad at all!

Why would I do that? Once these are done I'll probably have a total of $200 invested into them and then I'll have both full and half doors..

Well you can trade your full's for halfs I see it all the time! But mods are fun too

I could be wrong, but perhaps what he meant was why don't you take the full doors you got for cheap and try to trade them with someone who wants half doors...not that you should trade your original full doors for half doors.

Did you read the original posting or see the photos? Can you think of anyone who would trade me half doors for wrecked/damaged full doors?

Can you take pics of the handles for the doors? Is that the finished product with the hole like that?

Yes, I did. Notwithstanding the fact it is probably cheaper to fix "wrecked" full doors than buy new ones...I was simply commenting that maybe the other poster was wondering if you could trade full doors that need work for half doors.

They are far from finished. The hole is just left over from where the factory handle was cut out. I might do a bit on them this weekend and post up some better pics

Started to cut into the doors tonight, we will see how far I get. It's been blazing hot in Arizona the past couple weeks so I've been slow to start on he door build.

Haha this weekends going to be 118/119°

Initial cuts are done. Now to take it down to the scribe line and start filing the edges. I'll then move onto the passenger side before welding an inside brace and capping the top! Watcha think?

 

[Frydaddy]

Should have kept some of that material to fold over the gap.

 

[OJK12]

That looks great!!

That is Awesome!

 

[madstiles]

This is awesome!! Thanks for the ideas!

I left about a 1/4 of an inch on top for when I cap the top. I'm rounding off the edges so it should meet the body line perfect.
