Butterfly Doors Teaser

I noticed that alot of the new guys have been asking around about butterfly doors (which they keep calling lamborghini doors). I just finished stripping down my Jada 1:18 Veilside Supra and I decided it could use some distinctive doors.

What you're seeing is an expieremental hinge, the final one will let the door open further and won't be as contorted as this one is now. I also need a way to get the doors to stay in the open position, any suggestions?

Great looking. How about a small indent on the hinge or something so the door drops down a small bit and stops. The you could just push the door gently and it would close.

Kink part of the hinge tube. Looks good so far, I cant wait to see more of this project.

looks nice! keep it up

ok, lets get this straight right now


butterfly doors- used on enzo's, like the pictures posted
lambo doors- used on lamborghini's, doors go straight up


anyways- nice job on the hinges, it would make a great how to, hint hint

Alphabet of doors.

Butterfly door-hinge on the A-Pillar.
Lambo/Vertical/Scissor doors- go straight up.
Gull wing doors- Hinge on a 'T-Top' like roof. Look at a Delorean
Suicide- Doors that open backwards
Normal-Open forwards.

Looking good so far.

Also love the sig...

Glad it is to your taste :P. Thanks for the suggestions everyone! This project, along with the denali are pretty longterm to don't expect any finished products soon.

How many projects are you working on now?

How many projects are you working on now?
Too many. Obviously the Supra and the Denali but also repainting a convertible NSX, repainting a Ducati, polishing up an Eclipse, changing wheels on a different Denali, changing wheels on a 360 Modena Spider, and getting some mirrors for my Enzo repaint. Anybody got a scrapped Enzo with extra mirrors perchance?
