Default Tube doors. Homemade.


These are the current stage of my tube doors. I have to clean up the welds and figure out my latch system. Then they will be done, need them done by the 20th of this month. We will be starting on the rears soon.

Those will look nice once they are cleaned up. Is that 1" square stock? Whats the weight? Looks like a project I might want to take on later.....

Nice! I like that you inset them at the hinges so they ride in the door channel.

I've also figured out the latch, it will be a spring loaded vertical pull pin.
