As slow as I work on stuff, I would probably have to have $2,700 for two doors to make any money.
But, after I made the first one, I built a jig on a piece of plywood so I could build the second door without having to do a lot of "test fitting". So I can bend and tack weld the 3 pieces of 1-1/2" tubing pretty quickly. I could probably sell that for $40/door. Someone would still have to finish welding it up and finish the hinges and latches. Someone else has already asked me to build them two doors. Edited by 98TJ - 24 June 2009 at 10:31am |

Those look good! I really like the latches. I might have to make myself some eventually. If I do I'll definitely use those latches.

You live in 35749? I know you got money........the price just went up.
I bought a 1" dimple die a while back, but I haven't found anything to try it on yet.

I think you just found it. Bring them over and we'll plasma out some skins for you to dimple. I've been looking to buy a set for a while now, just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I saw these in Hot Springs, AR last weekend on a Scrambler.
I think he used factory paddle style latches. Snapped a shot for future reference. |
