Does anybody make those hinge conversion kits, so beloved of the fart-can crowd, that make the doors swing out and up? Not that I'd put one on Sharky, you understand...

I bet the frame ridgidity is not compromised too much - the guys with convertibles still have great twist strength - jack up rr tire and rfront comes off the ground with it and all...

No, but they tested driving the car with the doors open and found it would not cause a problem up to something like 80 km/h.

I was thinking about butting lambo doors on my project 928, but concluded that it may be too rice. Any opinions on the "riceiness" of these doors on a 928

(Maybe time for another poll!!!)
