I think he got scared with all the response... lol. But I think that says maybe contacting speed specialty would be a good idea... I dont want to pressure him and make him not want to do it, because for the price if quality is good it'll be something awesome for the fbody community.
And besides that- my passanger side hinge needs some work, they're getting a little worn after these years. Maybe a replacement would be a good idea?

You say that you have them on your car.. Can you not at least post pics of the kit on YOUR CAR... Not necessarily the "mechanism" itself but so we can all see exactly how they open. What they look like visually closed, opening, and opened.
I don't see how this would be a problem.

Guys.
Like he said, he isn't going to respond to any more pic threads because he has already clearly made his point that he isn't trying to sell them yet. He is seeing who wants them and who doesn't. I'm 100% sure that if/when he decides to sell (which is probably a long time from now) that he will definatly post pictures of the cars he's doing, and his own. You also have to keep in mind he's a single father working 50+ hours a week, he's probably a little busy right now.
I'm sure that when the time is right and he has the resources, he'll put these badass doors into production and let us all know about it. We've all made it pretty clear that we would buy them, some 20+ people have already said so. Of that, probably about 11-13 will actually go through with the purchase... and the rest will follow in time. I say that only because some of us may not have the money later, but will over time. It's something I would definatly save for.
So please just give this guy a break, he's probably more than overwhelmed with all of the feedback he got. And i'm SURE he didn't "ditch" us, he's probably trying to figure out what he needs to do to get his product on the market.
I for one, will wait for him to build these doors when he is good and ready.

Then he should put himself in OUR SHOES.
If I told you there is a new 5th gen camaro. And you had NO IDEA WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE.. Would you go out and buy it? No? Why not? Because you have absolutely NO IDEA what it even looks like.
Why would you say will for sure buy something that you have absolutely NO IDEA what it looks like and are basing the entire decision on what is being said..
Here is another thought.. who says that people are not just SAYING they will buy it for sure? He's basing HIS decision on whether to go ahead on mass producing them purely on what is being SAID as are we.
No one here is saying his is a fraud it's very unlikely his would go to all this trouble. But to not even tell us exactly what it looks like, and provide pics of what it would LOOK like installed on the car (the way the doors are, and not the mechanism itself), does not make sense.

you know, i understand that he's not ready to sell them, but that is no excuse why theres no pics if he already has them on his own car. Its no big deal to post a few pics. I'm a wedding photography, how many brides do you think i can sell by not showing pictures. Showing pics would at least remove the doubts i have that this is a joke. He told us to look at other pictures before to get the idea. I need to try that one with my next client.
If i created this, i'd have pics up the same day, even if i wasn't ready to sell.
If he can do it for his estimated amount, that would be awesome. If he has his own machinery then i can see it happening, but to have a machine shop cut and then have them welded. this will have to be some very very very good welds to hold up to the abuse of raising and lowering the doors. Anyone else want to have their 70 pound door break off and smack you in the head while its at its maximum height, fall down and hit off the brand new lexus parked next to you?? My concern with this kit will be strictly quality, so far he hasn't proven anything. A degree in design doesn't mean you can fab something up in the workshop.
I'm not callin him a fraud, yet, i'm just callin him out to put some evidence out
