The car is going into the garage for a complete tear down, so it's ok to jinx myself now.

For anyone that says that the shaved doorhandles will crack, fall out or become otherwise damaged, i say...NOT MINE.
Three years, parked outside 2 winters, driven one, climbing in and out of the window because the tweaked frame wont let the drivers door open easily, still looks as good as the day i did it.
I did the handles myself, and have pretty much NO experience with bondo. Just wanted to put that out there, i am sure they will be cracked tomorrow now that I said it, but no matter, time to tear it apart.

 

more power to you

I don't have the guts to do body work to the car yet, the only thing I'm working on is the engine.

 

How do you open the doors?

 

Lately, I don't. Before the twisted frame, I justhit the unlock button on my remote. I have it wired to the solenoids that open the door.

 

did you just take the door handles off and fill it in with bondo? and the same for the locks let me know thanks

 

Yep, I used the nylon material, soaked in bondo, wadded it into the holes, then covered it with more bondo. Was messy as hell, but worth it.

 

if I had the funds, my car would have shaved dorrs right now, along with scissor doors

 

I second that.. WooT

I wish I had a welding machine.. I drew up some plans for "scissor doors".. All I need to do is get some stock hinges, cut and weld...

 

i wanted to shave my doors but you can run at the track here without handles

 

Some tracks around here are like that, but after I ask how they get nascar drivers out after a wreck, most of them let me go. A few of them make me run a cable up next to the window to release the door.
