You do not have the fab skills to even attempt this if you are asking this question. Only two cavaliers have ever had this done, and both required a lot of time and skill to pull off.

Thanks for the honesty. But to be factual I don't have any fab skills to begin with. my uncle and cusin both are/were iron workers. There preety handy with em. I wouldn't try this whatsoever by myself. I just never seen suicides in person besides on continentals. I don't know how you would use the hinges in the kit. I just want to get a picture in my head.

Always loved that car. Is she still on the .org? I'm curious to how long the car was down for. I imagine a minute. So after a little r&d I think one would have to make a steel plate to put on the inside of the door with "indentation" to put the long piece of the hinge in bolted down of course. But if that's the case how could the hinges be pre-aligned?

It's a perfect solution to your problem.

I washed it up this weekend and after the it started after sitting for 6 months first crank... it'll be hard to sell it.
