That is most certainly an ambitious project. Great imagination and so far execution!

Thank you.
hfdco4 - I'm not stretching the doors, but am building half doors that will include the jambs for the front doors, much like the 1999 and up extended cabs are done.

I read this thread long ago and am glad to see it back in progress. Are the back half doors going to be suicide doors? I'm very interested to see how you do this. :pop:

Thank you. Yes, the half doors are going to be hung suicide style. There will be extensive work in the door jambs as they narrow too much at the bottom of the B pillars, but I do have an extra cab for parts. The B pillars need a lot of reinforcing to support the stresses of the hinges. I'm trying to keep all modifications looking like they were made that way from the factory.

Okay, I have been looking for an image hosting site to use for pictures on here because the one I was using has decided to start charging. They asked for $35 to post about a half dozen pictures. I can either pay to post pictures or I can spend that money to move this project further along. Any reasonable help would be appreciated.

:? Photobucket was always the way I posted and a lot of others too. With my project in storage I haven't used it in awhile... I did however add Ad-blocker to it a little while back but, I don't recall a notice about charging

Photobucket works well if you keep the picture size down to 640 x 480 which works great for forums. I have over 3000 pics on mine and only about 22% of the allowable free space used.
