Anybody shave their door handles and go for a remote opener ?? which kit to buy ??

I did that to my b2600i... Spal makes good kits.. I think you can buy them at godfathercustoms.com

I looked into shaved door kits. Most expert places said that I would have to replaced the body filling every two years. You can guess why I haven't had it done https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png .

what body filling are you talking about ??

when you shave the door handles off you remove them entierly from the

outside of the car, there is some welding and some body work involved



any type of custom body work later on down the road may need to be

touched up, factor in that alot of people who do it are hacks to begin with

and the time frame in between touch ups could be much less.



are you sure you know what shaved door handles mean?

there is no "kit" for the whole thing, only universal kits that

allow you to open the doors being as there is no longer handles on the

outside, the removal of the handles itself will be a custom job.

i am looking for the nescessary hardware.. ie: solenoids, door poppers and the brain box. I would like to integrate the brain into the factory alarm system on my 90 GXL

what happned to the old school way of welding and using lead filler?

we found out lead causes cancer



Leaded gas was good ****

can u not subsitute lead for tin then?

rob the proper way would be to weld on a metal "patch" and sand it down smooth to the door, therefore negating the need for body filler, but also maknig a paintjob necessary, correct?



kevin.

Damn near imposible too.. maybe on an old car.. but on new cars the metal warps way too easily.. so a thin coat of filler is needed just to smooth it out.. I have not had a problem with my filler yet.. and it has been a long time.. over a year.. but the weather out here does not change drastically..

how about making a fiberglass door.



kevin.

that would work..

but lotsa work.. would be nice to make in CF for FC's and FD's since it would save weight..

i know they make them for the FD, i've got a pic somewhere on my computer, but can't seem to find it.

would be real nice for the vert.. would save lotsa weight..

i saw the cf doors for FD, from re-amemiya, mainly used for their lambo style door system tho.



i say we bother rob nito making smoe fiberglass fc doors.



kevin.

Yeah.. good Idea.. Hey Rob.. Hook it up..

yea rob, where you at homeskillet. make us some doors.



ill give you umm some paint or something.



kevin.

welds ends up rusting, that was the beauty of lead instead of welding.

Besides the only way to get a 100% wave free panel is to cover the ENTIRE

panel in bodyfiller and fair it.





Im not making FG doors, there would be a good deal of labor to make

4 molds

2 molds per door, one for inner, one for outer



There are FG fenders for our cars, how many people actually buy them?

Although I always thought FG fenders were silly considering that fenders are

one of the lightest metal body parts of our cars, like 17lbs

of im not mistaken. I guess someone made them

because they are easy to make.



I am going to make you FG sunroof panels and sell them cheap, so that

there will be no more rusting roofs, and ANYTHING would be better then

thru bolting a piece of home depot lexan to the roof that looks like ****

that I have seen recently



We need to end all the ghetto FCs, I know some people dont have the money

to do everything they want to thier cars, but its no reason to bastardize the car

and decrease the value and give the cars a bad name.

i will buy a lightweight sunroof assembly.



need a motor for mine too https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



but back to this door thing.



you dont really need to mold the other side of the door. we'll make racecar style doors.



kevin.

racer doors?



what about the handles, the latches, the hinges, the windows.....



you might not need a new motor with a light roof panel, might end

the "helping it with the hand to get it to close" thing as well.



my goal is to do the panels for well under $100.

that would be great. i'd definately be down for one.

well we would need hinges, but for windows il use a racenet, and the whole point of the doors is to get rid of the door handles, so thats simple enough.



my sunroof needs a helping hand getting open. sometimes it just tils up but doesnt make it far enough to slide back, other times it works fine.



kevin.

after the holidays when I go back to work I will

play with the sunroof panel.



Right now Im busy with a side job thats a full paint job.
