--------------------------------------------- Thanks, Ryan.  That's a huge compliment!  I'm 90% minitrucker but grew up around fast classics.  If I had a nickel for every time someone on this journey said to me  "It's a Minitruck, not a race car..."  I'd have a hefty sack of nickels to beat them with.

Um.  I was going to keep this a secret until after I got home from Down to Earth in Cali on April 24th.  But I made the mistake of sharing photos with my friends on Myspace and now photos are popping up everywhere.   So what the hell.   At the last show I attended, Forbidden Fantasy 2010, (bad ass show as always by the way, thank you to the guys from FFF.) I saw some of the craziest doors ever.  They appeared to open and then pitch downward with the door panel towards the dirt.  SICK!  So I went over to see how they did it.     Turns out they just removed all but one bolt from the door hinges, twisted the door and tightened it back up.  I was pissed that I walked that far to see... nothing. But it motivated me to get off my ass and tinker with an idea I had when I first started this project.   Homicide Doors.     After about 4 hours of fab work and some trial and error, I had a fully operating Homicide Door without latches.  Latches should be here tomorrow!   Here's a video of the door in action in case the photo just isn't good enough.   Project D350 Homicide Doors
