Wouldn't it be easier just to put a Hudson hood ornament on a Lambo? LOL0 -

I often wondered what a stepdown 4 door w/ suicided doors would look like (probably have to strengthen the quarter area to support the weight of the door), though the lambo idea I can't picture. I'm wondering if the doors aren't too big and when opened they'd look like a condor ready for take off. Doesn't mean it can't be done, saw it on a Disco II once.0 -

4 door w/suicides would look like this (I'm not sure why the doors angle upward though...)
I actually think the doors (at least the fronts) are too short and squatty looking for a Lambo flip up.0 -

the fronts would not be suicide just the rears... but all 4 would swing up..
p.s. just bid on ebay 2 sets of kits..:cool:0 -

I like the 2 doors opening opposite, like my ol' 64 Continental. Would the lambo's require extra strengthening? I'm not too familiar with those. It would certainly be different and I reserve my opinion until I saw it. Would the fronts swing up and forward and the rears swing up and rearward?0 -

Yeah, I'd think that would look really cool! Be sure to post pics of your progress. As 66patrick66 said, you will probably be the first!0 -

There were three guys from Susanville or Alturas, CA who each had a chopped Hudson, and went together to shows around the northwest, 10 or 15 years ago- I think one of those had gull-wing type doors, but can't remember for sure. I only knew the name of one of the three- Norm Willingham- Susanville, I think. Not sure if he's still among us, or not.0 -
I think it would be a neat mod on something like a Stepdown, or even a chopped Merc. If you do it, that woulld be something to see...especially in the WTN!!!:eek: I'm sure that'll lock up a member or two!0

Increase your insurance - you know how many people would rap their heads on swing up doors. Not to mention the dirty looks you'd get taking up 3 parking places!!! LOL

Sounds like a mod for really short guys with excessivly long arms, unless you have electric closers. I was just trying to imagine the gull wing doors on my Pacemaker, on the roof of which at factory ride height I can comfortably rest my arms.

The reason the doors angle up is that the mounting surfaces angle in.
If you guys need something to do, I've got a 39, a 49 and a 50 that need restoration.
I'm working on my 5th, a 46 PU and starting on my 6th, a 40 Country Club Eight Coupe.
Driving a 36T, a 47PU, a 49C and a 52HH

How about these?

I like stock suicides, but if you chop it, I think the Lambo's might look kind of trick!0 -
have not decided on chopping it hate to do that to it but the roof does need some work done since it has a little damage have another skin for it if i need to use it
but you are right may look nice chopped and lamboed would be a site to see for sure
also see my post under hot rod section need lots of ideas for my 34 since im new to this and need ideas0 -
This morning I saw a current Chrysler 300C sedan with lambo style front doors??? Which means I guess that lambo doors have to be do-able for a stepdown as well.0
