On a 40 4 door, is it possible to change the front doors around and make them suicide? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks again. Jim

Jim , Anything is possible, but why in the world would you want to do that?

Bad idea for several reasons. the main reason is the center door post on a fordor is not strong enough to support the entire door. Again, why?

Why not make them gull wing opening! That would be unique!

Sure it can be done and it wouldn't be the first. Just a matter of beefing up structures where required and someone with fabrication skills as well as imagination.

Quite "convincing", for the easily-convinced! Just looks slightly-gomezed to me. DD

Really?

Well I thought of maybe being differant. What I would like to know, who owns the converted 4 door? Thanks again. Jim

Sounds like you would be one of the "easily-convinced" that I mentioned above. The door on the black 4-door has been PHOTO-SHOPPED.......not real! DD

You can do just about anything to anything, the issues are the cost and why? If you really think it is worth the cost and effort go for it. Also factor in the drop in the value of the car after a mod like this, better be a car you intend to keep!
