Default Would you buy them?

Well I have a medical issue that prevented me from deploying so in the mean time I want to start something that has been on my mind for some time now. I have been thinking for some time now about selling some custom trail doors,armor, and locking cargo caps that do not drain the bank. I work with a plasma cutter for a living so I am no stranger to working with metal. I am currently working on a set that a friend wanted. I will be able to do custom to order, you give me a drawing and I will make it happen. They will be anywhere from 200-300 depending on the design you come up with. The ones I am working on now will have a gate type of latch on them that will lock with a pin. He has a young boy so this will prevent the doors from opening unexpectedly. There are so many options to the doors, from latch styles to hinges and mirrors you decide.

I also have done custom b pillar armor, and will soon finish up a rear cargo cap. I will be updating within the next two weeks with my progress of the doors. I have some pictures bellow of the ones I am working on now. At the moment I only have the wood pattern made, but will update when the doors start to take shape. Let me know what you guys think or if you have anything to add.

Thanks!!

Well he changed his mind after he stopped by today. He loved the look of the solid half door without any cut outs so I had to start over. I worked with the wood stencil getting the fitment just right along with the latch which is coming out just as planned. I have a photo of the front door, will upload the rear this weekend.

I have also been thinking of how I can make the interior of the door not only look complete, but functional I remembered seeing these

Got me thinking about making something like this so you can mount bags or whatever on the door
