Feeler: Fiberglass half doors for a Samurai
« on: August 09, 2010, 05:01:18 PM »
Putting a feeler out here to see how many people out there in the world of Suzuki would be interested in a set of fiberglass half doors for a Samurai. I have been cutting doors down and welding them up but I'm thinking about moving forward in producing a fiberglass version of the half doors. Shooting for the $270 - $290 price range a set, they will include latches and nut plates for the factory door hinges. Below is a few pictures on the metal version I make now. The fiberglass version will look exactly the same. Let me know if you guys out there are interested!!

The fiberglass ones would be smooth on the inside with the location and nut plate for the door straps like the factory door. The metal ones above have room for a custom door panel inside and factory pull handle

If you supply the doors, I charge $120 a set for what you see in the pictures above... Has for the 4 door sidekick, never done a set but I sure I can make you up a set of metal ones if I had some doors.

Where are the latches on these metal doors? In other words, how do you open them?  They look nice. If I could get a set of doors to you I would have you do a set for me.

It's a factory latch in the factory location. There is a popper on the top of the door. If you look at the picture above where there off the rig, you can see them.

1/2 doors would be a good idea and should sell

 ....so would fiberglass hoods, windshield frames, and possibly front end parts....Oh,  and tubs!

Oh how timely this was.... LOL... I just gutted 2 doors today and cut them down to make the exact same thing. I had never seen them on a Sammi until today.

Thanks for the photo's now I know I am headed in the ritee direction with the welds.
