Creative body work at Bug-in 34

This build was chronicled over on TOS ... first time I've seen it up close. Impressive.

Love the suicide doors. But they do look "suicidal". :shock: Wonder how they stay closed? Looks like they just lock into each other.

Actually it isn't just interlocking. The third door incorporates lock rods that extend from within the door (the front portion which used to be the "B" pillar) and into a hole in the threshold at the front of the door and into the top of the door frame (both in the main body) somewhat like what you'd see on the side doors of a van. The finish work is very well done on the door and the cut in the glass (the holes themselves are pretty basic looking though).
