As slow as I work on stuff, I would probably have to have $2,700 for two doors to make any money.  LOL
 
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.

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 might could make these work on a K5.  My buddy is going to put them on his Yota pickup.  I'm going to make the top and bottom tubes 6" longer and he is going to cut them to fit.  Then he is going to weld a piece of 1-1/2" X 1/4" flat bar to the ends so he can bolt them to his factory door hinges.  He is going to rob some factory door latches out of a couple of old Yota doors he has.

I had to mod those latches a little to make them work because they are made to work with a 3/8" striker pin and the TJ has a 5/16".  I'll show what I did on Saturday.

I think you just found it.  Big smile  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.
