[QUOTE="Gibby1, post: 1347310, member: 15983"] Well, in keeping with tradition on my runner, my new doors are probably a little overkill. I'm not done with all the finishing touches yet. K2Blazen with nice enough to lend me his bender to get the majority of the tube work done. Along with the harbor freight kinker and tube notcher the tubing went together nicely. Many thanks to Jaydog who spent the greater part of a weekend helping me get the frame all put together. The tube is 1.5" .120 DOM. The diamond plate is 1/8" and then some expanded metal was also used. I was able to use the factory hinges and latches, including the interior and exterior handles to open and close. The doors fit VERY tight and will not rattle. When I get the paint done it won't look so gawky or daunting. Right now the grey up against the red looks kind of odd.

I am also going to be putting in a locking storage box between the lower upright tubes that will be water proof. However, using the heavy guage diamond plate was way overkill and way too much weight, so I need to go get some lighter plate or other sheet metal to finish this up.
