1/2 doors

I had them cut and was running with them on the weekends. I wasn't in any rush to paint them to match the truck, so I came up with a good idea...Paint them with the duplicolor truck bed lining. My dad had a better idea:

This is how they were:


First stage:


Second stage I guess I forgot to take a pic of, but here's the third and final stage:


Pics are blurry, the camera battery was running out:

WOW...PLEASE take some time to make proper half doors. Weld a filler peice in, instead of using that foam padding. I hope you live in south carolina with those doors

Oh, and if the doors offend you, it's because of your own ignorance.

why paint them if your not done with them? Whom ever welds them is going to grind on your paint job.

I know, I can't wait to get out in town and show 'em off!

About the plate, rock on. Even though your a yankee... I think more people up north fly it than down here from what I've seen. I walked into a convenience store in PA that had the "Dixie bells" for a door chime. Just like the horn except bells.
