Home Made Tube doors

[QCB_Preacher]

The build phase is complete. I went back over to ChrisM's place ahd we installed the new latch on the first door, then completed the build on the second.
All I need now is to clean up the weld and bed-liner the bars!
Installing the latch on the first door

Both doors installed!

Looking good. I want some tube doors for my Blazer.

Did I see you on 49 Saturday morning? I was in a gray K5. I remember seeing a Jeep with the netting on the back like yours. You were headed towards Uwharrie and I was headed towards Richfield.

You need to get them painted so not everybody in the world has to see where I blew my nose all day.

Got them cleaned and primed today, paint tomorrow if I can get away from my desk long enough to get to the store!

Chris, send me an official contact email address! I got you a customer in Raliegh, and a few more bites.

I'll get that other bit out to you ASAP.

Door completed. Cleaned them up, used a self-etching primer, 2 coats of bedliner and I am a happy camper.

They look great man. I like that design alot.

 

[KingKong]

the doors look good, i just think the netting would be better in black or maybe a little less violent red.

Wondering how these are working out? I am looking at using the same latch, any input?

Thanks,

Kevin

edit: I found a NC source for the latch also, http://www.carolinaclassictrucks.com/Autoloc-BCSM.html

thanks for the latch link. I've had some people asking me to make some tube doors for jeeps and havn't been able to source a good latch. Are these working well?
