Something new
 

So where did the first production set of Vertical Door's new C5 Zlr hinges go?

To the BARN :D

These things are very well built and work very well. Gotta say "Thank You" to ShopSFM and Vertical Door for getting these to me :cheers:

Love them Gary!!

So you had to take the entire front end apart again???

Pretty cool! Can't wait to see more. :cheers:

AH Shitz, GB's gone Vertical!!!!

One word: AWESOME!! http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...s/7469b6b5.gif


How long did it take to install them?







But wait.....Did your front end fall off during reentry?!

Doin' a complete repaint and had the motor out for a new EG Mayhem II cam package :D

As always ... :thumbs:

Evidently it's catching too, the van in the back has lost its front end too! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


Meh about the doors. I think they look better on the lambos. Vettes, not so much. Looks like they twist up too much too, but looks well engineered.

:thumbs:

Very sharp!

:iagree::cheers:

I think that's what makes it the ". . . first production set of Vertical Door's new C5 Zlr hinges

The important question... does it make it easier to get in and out of the car, in a narrow parking slot or small garage?

:)

Nope. They actually open a lot like a gull wing almost so there is no getting out of the car until they are fully extended and you need some room to do that. One thing that is super ultra cool is that GB has heavy duty auto door poppers so when you hit the button on the fob the doors pop open and go to their fully open position automatically like a friggin space ship!:willy:

Also when the doors are open you could use them as tables for snacks and promotional flyers.:leaving:

Kinda like an Autobot transformation... that gets stuck at "doors only" then. :cool:

VERY NICE Gary!!!!



but someone stole your door handles. :leaving:

That's cool.
Do the windows have to be down with your top up or will the doors close without the windows hitting anything?

:leaving:

Vertical Doors Inc has a couple of YouTubes that answer most of the questions: My understanding is that you need a min 3 feet clearance on the sides to fully open the doors. Also, the windows do not need to be down in order to open or close the door. By the way, I am new to this Corvette forum, so hi to everyone and I hope to contribute here as well. I was not a fan at first of vertical doors but have come around and this type really is appealing to me. I have a 2000 MN6 coupe black/black but I am in the process of completely redoing the interior with Corbeau A4 seats in a custom color leather and matching leather dash, door panels, console and trim pieces as well as changing out the carpet. :cheers:

Looks good!
