As the title says, Im making half doors for my 2nd gen. I have a 4 door and Im only doing the front 2 at this point, havent decided if ill do that back but probably not. My friend recently made some for his XJ so hes going to be guiding me along and what not. I got the doors the other day from a fellow member parting out and explorer and got them stripped and marked for cutting (that will come this week most likely). Im only doing one at a time so I have the other for reference. Im going to be cutting the inner and outer part of the door and fully welding along both sides with a piece of sheet metal in the middle. The door latch will be the stock latch inside as it shows in the second picture. The upper frame of the door will be cut off so they will be true half doors in theory. The first picture is of my friends jeep that Im modeling my doors after:
And heres what I have so far done to mine. you can see the sharpie lines drawn where I will be cutting them and the frame will be cut just above the mirrors:
More pictures to come as I progress on them.
