    A colleague recently obtained the complete drawing set or plans on a cd to make your own lambo door hinges. Interested ?

    a silly question perhaps...would lambo doors even work with VX given their weight? i am afraid to think whether windows will work also....can the door be opened as lambo AND in the regular fashion or it is "either...or" situation?

    Doors...

    I've only done a little research on Lambo doors, but yes.. the weight can be supported and the doors would only work vertically with this mod. Many companies sell kits for larger SUVs like Hummers and Escalades.
    See the below link for some pics of other kits:

    As for the windows working.... well, um... that's another story.

    After I cut the doors out of the body and held them in place, I noticed how big they were and how akward(sp?) it would be to get in or out. I really think that the Gull Wing option would be the best. The doors would NOT get in the way, and in my opinion would look WAY better. I can't wait to build that model next...

    Excellent work, Jim. Now I see why you wanted more models...

    Jim, do you need more?
