Suicide doors on a firebird??

I saw a limo with suicide doors on it earlier and it dawned on me that maybe it's possible to put some on a firebird. I have a 91 formula and personally i think it would be awesome to install them on mine. Just wondering if anyone else has any opinions.

Re: Suicide doors on a firebird??

with enough time and money its possible, and for that matter im pretty sure sombody here posted up recently with pics of his attempt.

Biggest hurdle is the weight of the door. You will have to seriously reinforce the door jamb where the hinges will mount.

not a task for the feint of heart.

Do a here on TGO about suicide doors. Firebirds are no different no Camaros in this mod. You'll find plenty of posts for & against it, as well as 3rd gens that have it done.
