I think I can say with absolute certainty that yours will be the first."The time has come", the Walrus said, "to speak of many things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot,

Wouldn't it be easier just to put a Hudson hood ornament on a Lambo? LOL -

I often wondered what a stepdown 4 door w/ suicided doors would look like (probably have to strengthen the quarter area to support the weight of the door), though the lambo idea I can't picture. I'm wondering if the doors aren't too big and when opened they'd look like a condor ready for take off. Doesn't mean it can't be done, saw it on a Disco II once. -

4 door w/suicides would look like this (I'm not sure why the doors angle upward though...)
I actually think the doors (at least the fronts) are too short and squatty looking for a Lambo flip up. -

the fronts would not be suicide just the rears... but all 4 would swing up..
p.s. just bid on ebay 2 sets of kits..:cool: -

I like the 2 doors opening opposite, like my ol' 64 Continental. Would the lambo's require extra strengthening? I'm not too familiar with those. It would certainly be different and I reserve my opinion until I saw it. Would the fronts swing up and forward and the rears swing up and rearward? -

Yeah, I'd think that would look really cool! Be sure to post pics of your progress. As 66patrick66 said, you will probably be the first! -

There were three guys from Susanville or Alturas, CA who each had a chopped Hudson, and went together to shows around the northwest, 10 or 15 years ago- I think one of those had gull-wing type doors, but can't remember for sure. I only knew the name of one of the three- Norm Willingham- Susanville, I think. Not sure if he's still among us, or not. -
I think it would be a neat mod on something like a Stepdown, or even a chopped Merc. If you do it, that woulld be something to see...especially in the WTN!!!:eek: I'm sure that'll lock up a member or two!"The time has come", the Walrus said, "to speak of many things.

Increase your insurance - you know how many people would rap their heads on swing up doors. Not to mention the dirty looks you'd get taking up 3 parking places!!! LOL

Sounds like a mod for really short guys with excessivly long arms, unless you have electric closers. I was just trying to imagine the gull wing doors on my Pacemaker, on the roof of which at factory ride height I can comfortably rest my arms.

The reason the doors angle up is that the mounting surfaces angle in.
If you guys need something to do, I've got a 39, a 49 and a 50 that need restoration.
I'm working on my 5th, a 46 PU and starting on my 6th, a 40 Country Club Eight Coupe.
Driving a 36T, a 47PU, a 49C and a 52HH
36T, -
How about these?

I like stock suicides, but if you chop it, I think the Lambo's might look kind of trick! -
have not decided on chopping it hate to do that to it but the roof does need some work done since it has a little damage have another skin for it if i need to use it
but you are right may look nice chopped and lamboed would be a site to see for sure
also see my post under hot rod section need lots of ideas for my 34 since im new to this and need ideas -
This morning I saw a current Chrysler 300C sedan with lambo style front doors??? Which means I guess that lambo doors have to be do-able for a stepdown as well.
