And then You would never get it engineered without side intursion bars. The hinges that appear in the commecial kits available are a 2 stage opening type hinge. first the door opens about 6 inches conventionally to clear the door frame from the A-pillar then the door is lifted into the upright position. the result is very clunky and althou looks good when open, it looks pretty dodgy while opening. This type of hinge is a split scissor hinge. A true Scissor hinge (lamboghini style) opens in one direction only and that is up. in the case of the RAXX application it would involve modifiing the roof to let the door pass, modifying the door to arc open and the front guards to allow the door to arc open. plus modification to the door itself to stop the door in the open position from being blown onto the roof of the car when open as this type of force isn't usually put on the door. A gullwing door is a door the opens from the roof line like the DeLorean or the old merc Gullwing. Unless you really want it it is a bit of a waste of time in a pillarless door frame. The way to look at it is to take cues from the Sera and the more modern attempts at Scissor Doors and create a 2D opening door that opens out and up in 1 motion (similar to the doors on the black one above) that would be way cool. The ones I've got on the drawing board are the split type but I'm not happy with them so I'm trying a few other ways. [Report message to a moderator]
