Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Don---When I built my glass 27T, I framed, cut, hinged and latched both doors---definately not for the faint of heart. They worked fine, and I never had problems with the dreaded "arm pinch from Hell". I had to do this, because even with a 6" channel, that car was high. I am descended from a long line of short fat people, and if I hadn't cut those doors, I would have had to mold in a ladder on both sides of the car. Even as it was, I had to step up onto the track bar ahead of each rear fender, slide my legs in thru the really narrow door, make sure and swing my fat butt in above the door opening, and then kind of "slither" my way down into the seat (which damn near sat on the floor).---Getting out of it required a "reverse slither" to go from the seated position into the upright position to get back out of the damn thing. It was really comfortable once I got setting down in it, but I had to develop a lot of contortionist moves to get in and out. ---Brian
