Since I have a full vehicle for my SAS donor, I have been having lots of fun destructing the truck. I decided that I wanted to make some half doors for my Bronco. I decided to go with the Triplesix style of door.

I started with these doors....

And I am currently at this stage....

Next I'm going to weld them up, Have them sandblasted then send them to paint......

Whaddaya thunk?

**96GreenMonster** · 10-20-2009, 01:30 PM

I've gotta still clean the cuts up on them. as you can see the door on the left isnt cut as well as the right one.... Not perfectly even yet.

**stan the man** · 10-20-2009, 02:38 PM

Looks ghey. These aren't half doors, they're 1/4 doors. I'm actually picking up some doors for a set too. Nice little low-buck winter project. Keep up the good work.

shoulda went straight down on the handle side a la plug ugly.

His are pretty sweet...

**Need4racin** · 10-20-2009, 09:03 PM

I like them. Looks gay with a non stock handle on them.

**reptillikus** · 10-21-2009, 10:55 AM

I completely disagree, i think they would look better if the stock latch was cut out, and the holes covered up/filled. You dont need the door handle to make the door open, you just use a straight rod off the pivot point for the inner handle, and the door pops right open.

95 murph · 10-21-2009, 11:04 AM

dude looks good so far. what are you doing with parts from the 350 that you arn't using. i could see me doing a door built in the future maybe.

Hey cool.

I did decide to change the design and take out the door handle.

Did a little damage to one.

**stressed** · 10-24-2009, 02:33 AM

my 1/4 doors.. I kept the latch thing but I cut it to where it was just the button and I moved it down. I closed up the window gap as well.. Here are some pics. I have more if needed for ideas..

**stan the man** · 10-24-2009, 03:59 AM

How did you close up that window gap? I'm not a fan of chopping the door so you see weather stripping, but I never found a good looking half door with the uppers still in tack. Zilla's looks like sex. Triplesix's looks good too, how'd you wire up those speakers?

I used strips from an old bronco bed and welded them in. it was very time consuming but worth it..

**Red91XLT** · 10-31-2009, 03:33 PM

Any updates, Dean?

***redwagon*** · 11-01-2009, 01:46 PM

Mine

more of a quarter door, but I figure if I am going to waste all that time making them I should be able to climb in and out with out having to open.

**f1fiddy** · 11-02-2009, 07:52 PM

Why are half of the pics already red x's?This thread is only a few weeks old.I became a paying member so I could post pics easily and thought it also would allow me to see all of the pics.

People tell you to search and I do and then I find what I am looking for except the pics are missing.What's the point?
