extremely cool!
why dont they just post the price i wonder? alot of times they keep it a mystery and make you inquire to get a price. they should just post it up on the website in plain site at least whatever they start at or remotely a ball park. i'm thinking "NOT CHEAP"
but very intriguing and useful!

'the somewhat drastic modifications to the baseline vehicles...' SOMEWHAT?!
I'd have to see one in person to actually believe that it works. The physics of retracting the door, which is a rigid structure, under the vehicle without hitting the ground or swinging out into traffic is just.... I don't know.
It's disturbingly cool but part of my brain simply refuses to accept that it could work like that.

1954 Kaiser Darrin: The front doors slide into the front fenders. When this occurs, the only thing visible are the door handles and a coupla inches of the upper sides of the doors.

Here the dirt and mud on the dirt roads would grind the paint off. As well as foul the door tracks.

There's no such thing as a restored vehicle...if your drive it...or not.
After you fix the last thing, Murphy's Law sez that sooner or later...usually sooner, one a the first things you fixed will go bad...or deteriorate from just sittin' there.
Certain member with an 'ol '39 P-U-ick will prolly confirm.

OOPS - you are always catching me arCtic!! I wouldn't try to do this door conversion on a bump - but it would be awesome on a 69 Mustang - if it were a resto-mod!!
Do have to put some disc brakes on my truck though - just doesn't feel safe enough driving it to me.
Got any suggestions on who's brake kit to use? After that, I'm DONE!
