mm suicide is what i wanna do winter time. work is looking good ayumi !

keep in mind that if u suicide the rear doors u have nothing to work with, due to the shape of the back of the doors and how it goes over the wheels.

yep hinge location has to be above the wheelwel
and thinking about using one large suicide hinge instead of 2. I've seen the pic that done that way on 300, hondas etc on cars so I guess it will be same way.
just have to buy some square tube to make the support on both side to hold the door up so it won't lean..... when I open....

ok driverside weld done, filling bondo done primer done.
all left is tailgate relocation.
then shaving complete.

well one beefy hinge would be the way to do it, but ur right about needing alot of support in the door and the body.

yep I actually have to measure the weight of the door panel, plus reinforcement need, plus weight of the reinforcement in calculation to hold the door right. easier on body to put more reinforcement, but harder on door.
weight of the door have to be equally distributed on support, thinking like at least 3 square tube, angle has to be right, on the body, easier to add larger square tube to distribute weight.
so will have to work on some stuff on that..
I'm searchin around how people are doing rear so I can mock one like whoever that did it.
