Hello guys.
I've been collecting diecast cars for about a year now but i want to start something new.
I want to customize my favorite car ever, a 93-98 supra.
I saw a few people with the butterfly doors (lambo doors, vdc doors, gullwing doors) and i really liked them.
I would really appreciate it if someone can help me with the making the doors because i am completly clueless.
A step by step with pics tut would be nice.

If you are drdragon, I am sure that if you swallowed your pride and just apologized for your wrongdoings you should be accepted here at AF, and you wouldn't have to make new accounts to cover up your past..just my 2 cents.

supratuner89 Your IP says your EXACTLY the same person.

Iv closed your other thread, and since we only allow one username per member Iv banned your drdragon one.

Since it appears you realised your mistakes with your other name, and have started a new one to try for a freash start.

I am asking all other members to respect that he has seen his mistake and is trying again.

supratuner89 please don't do anything that would make us think otherwise.

I suppose I can attempt a shot at helping, I've been planning on buying a Jada Supra to snag the wheels, wing, and interior, but I'll see if I can make a vertical door, if I manage I'll give you the progress pictures I will take :D Good Luck

Please do Petet, I really like the angle you're getting with the doors on the 350Z. The first picture doesn't quite explain the hing. Perhaps you could give us a picture of the hinge while its attached to the car?

ive always wondered about the lambo doors though, ive played around with a few ideas but they dont seem to work :/. cant wait for the tut!

supratuner89
08-28-2004, 02:48 PM
just like oi boy, ive tried a few things.
one of them was trying to take the hinge of a maisto lambo and weld them or something like it to the jada supra.
That didn't work.

I just thought of a way that is similar and maybe easier than PETET's(I dont know maybe), that I will try out today, using some thin strong wire that I found at a gardening store. If it works I will make a tutorial

I could make a tutorial for scissor doors for MotorWorks models, but I'm not to sure that MotorWorks are too popular in this forum, if they are, I can do a scissor door tutorial

Rubberband Man
08-28-2004, 10:45 PM
LOL Nevermind each one of the fifty ways I tried scissor doors just made a mess and look like crap.

08-28-2004, 10:47 PM
