The aqualu ones are nice. There was a pair in the classifieds a week or so ago too.

However much you might think is too much, it's not. They are a huge amount of work. I'll sell you mine for $4000.

LMAO, thats basically why I am trying to justify if new if available is more cost effective? Only issue is I want the stock hardware vs the aqualu whihc have paddle handle. The ones from Paki retained the handles and all? Is that virtually impossible to do and keep in same positions? Or will inside handle not work and will have to only use outside handle? I basically want the same cut look as the Paki doors? PACOL did have some that CCOT was selling for awhile

There is a ton of great fab work in the motivational thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/134061-hard-half-doors-faq.html

Not sure about what's available, but that's what I wanted too and I had a spare set of doors, one damaged, so I did it. They came out great. One still needs the inside handle finished and both need door panels. The panel I finished came out like crap. Even the lock works on the one I finished.

I was going to cut my stock doors, but decided to sell them and go with tube doors.

I'm going to skin them with powder coated (aluminum) sheetmetal, I think they'll be fine and more than durable.
