Thos aren't really considered gullwing doors as in a DeLorean. Those are scissor doors like on a Lambo. I wouldn't be possible to make gullwing doors on our cars because the glass on the doors have nothing around them you can't hinge the door glass to the roof.

Just an idea
To make the gull-wing door you wou8ld have to have a t-top car. You would make the door go all the way to the t bar and there would be the hinges. You would need to make a like aluminum frame with really thin sheets of metal or fiberglass. The windows would have to be fixed in place with a small sliding part
(Better keep the ac in ur car lol). But it can be done but how the hell would u make the hinges... they would have to be custom built $$$ cause u would need something other then piano hinges. If I only had the money to try.

I suppose with enough money and messing around it can be done, but it would be a lot more tedioius and hard than scissor doors. That car looks like the Camaro from the 80's cartoon M.A.S.K.....wich had gullwing doors and could fly. Anyone remember that?

Yeah, I had one when I was a wee nipper. Wish I'd never gotten rid of it. I don't remember if it was a Camaro though...

It was a Camaro, called Thunderhawk driven by Matt Trakker who was like the main guy.


If that doesn't work click here and scroll down some to vehicle pictures and you'll see the red Camaro flying.

Also, there wasn't a Trans Am there was a Vette named Raven driven by Calhoun Burns
