heya guys..was just wondering how hard it is to get suicide doors on a thirdgen camaro...and if it isn't that hard, is it easy to get shaved handles on em too?

 

Shaved handles would almost have to be a must, because you'll most likely have to completely replace the stock door latches. First off, you'd need to re-enforce the frame with subframe connectors, and most likely a rollcage or something of that nature because the b pillars aren't used to supporting the weight of a door, and it would probably cause major frame twisting.

You're talking major bucks to have a shop do it, but it can be done. If you can weld, cut, and fabricate, it probably wouldnt' _cost_ too much if you can get a good deal on steel, but it would still require major fabrication.

GO TO AUTOLOC.COM THEY HAVE A KIT FOR SUICIDE DOORS..

 

If you install autoloc's kit on your car, you're going to be crying within a year. Autoloc's kit is latches and hinges, and will not properly re-enforce your subframes to handle the reverse weight of the doors.

if ur interested in a pic here it is, if not, just ignore me

 

did you do the suicide install your self ?? and if so was it a big deal?? do give some details please...

 

i think suicide doors would look totally awsome on a third gen and that pic is an awsome example of it
very cool man ........

 

Can you show us a pick of the hinge modifcation I want to do either the suicide doors on my car or the Lambo...doors being that it seems no one has done it yet it seems

 

That pic is 3 or 4 years old, if not even older.

Basically suicide doors are set up just like normal doors. The only difference is that the hinges are swapped around along with the striker bar. To be properly done you'd have to re enforce doorjamb on the rear quarter panel to cope with the weight of the door. It woudl suck to go thru all of that trouble to warp the crap out of the rear quarter panel. Just off the top of my head you'd have to use a different style of hinges to get the door to clear the quarter panel when the door is opened.

 

aw! it wants a hug!

 

That looks prettycool..But make sure u have the latches work right.Sure would suck to be drive down the highway at about 75 80 or so and the dam doors go flying off lol
