My friend owns a body shop just south of boston and came up with the idea of lambos in the front and putting gullwing hinges with solenoids in the back, basically throwing the hinges to the top............hmmmmm.......i didnt want to be selfish and not share his idea......any thoughts?

 

i said this in a thread earlier this morning.. and I shall repeat myself

who needs lambo (or gullwing) doors when you got freestyle doors?!


but it is your car and if u have the money go nutz and show us some pix damit!

 

Lambo door belong on...umm....lambos.....
I've run across to many people, including lambo owners who have had too many alignment issues caused by not opening the doors just right, or worse, a simple gust of wind knocking them off alignment...and thus causing other related damage to the body.

As for Gullwings, they belong on only one of my vehicles....see below....

 

that delorean looks sweet!!! i wouldnt waste my money on my doors, they open fine, when i add modifications to my car i try to think of them as how i would have trully wanted the car to come from the factory....needless to say, i dont have any, because it came almost perfect!

 

I applaud u for that comment! I agree....

 

Wow ... is that really your Delorean? I've never seen on in real life. Did you do the Flux Capacitor mod? How about the hover wheel mod?

Lambo doors and gullwing together? Yikes. Don't do it! Unless some sucker decides to let you do it ... won't be me!

 

Yes, No, and No.

:D

Yes it is my DeLorean....I've had it quite a few years, but last winter I took out the engine to rebuild it, and now I hope to have it all back up and running by summer. I didn't add a flux capacitor, but I did add an MP3/CD changer! :p

Back on topic: an additional fact, if you want your car as a daily driver, everyone I've talked with has suggested not to do lambo doors.

 

I was thinking about Gullwing doors all around, kinda like a dragon fly look. But i got word that it doesnt really work well. I heard you have to hold them up with something in order for them to stay up on there own. I also had comments that the Gullwing doors will work on their own if you add $$$ to the construction and customize it. If you do it like the Deloreon then it will look ugly. hahaha also, it will be hard to get out of in a parking lot LOL!!! :D

 

^^^ Hey man, I only need 14" of clearance to open up my doors ALL the way. How much do you need? Maybe 40"? :p

 

dude gull wing will be tough on some tight parking spaces =P
