Not sure which way to go. What do you think ?
This will be the family Sunday street cruiser. 35's, 3.5" susp. lift with 3" body lift.
I have an old set of doors to cut down (no window frames) as well as the Roadster inserts and black soft 1/2 doors.
Paint scheme will be 1970 Dodge Sublime green if that makes a difference.
Thanks

There isnt much better than running inserts and some soft half doors if needbe. It looks the best too!

I don't care much for the 1/2 doors. I have inserts in my '70 and full doors in the '76. My wife doesn't like the inserts because its much harder to access the back seat to get kids in and out. I usually am alone in the '70, so I like not having to mess with doors.

That grey one is awesome!

Have you thought of tube doors? Kinda the best of both worlds and you can make a removable panel for them to block out some of the wind if needed.

First pic of the yellow summer doors are the ones I have right now and will be installing shortly. NicksTrix made them. I really like them and may design a soft upper door for bad weather.

I have my inserts and 2 piece "Galen" soft doors in the for ssale section. They were/are the best two piece soft doors and I really liked them too. Just rather have the summer doors.

Inserts look cheap inmho. Go with the doors. I've found that chicks like some sort of door.

Those are great, especially with the removable top section. Only thing I would do different would be to round those corners on the body line. Look great though. My eventual goal on a rig is to make inserts out of metal and then a set of 2 piece fiberglass doors, I dont care for the wearability of the soft doors. But thats on the long list. ;D

I like the full steel door myself, The Bronco dosent have that nice finished look like the jeep does with no doors. And the inserts look sort of goofy, like the door opening is to small in proportion to the rest of the vehicle, also never understood why the fabric goes on that weird angle that dosent match up to anything instead of going straight across to the 1/4 panel.
I do like the Gry one though, very different, and I like the way it pics up the factory lines. Looks like it was made for it. not a poorly thought out afterthought.
