    Thumbs up Door trial

    I tried a lot of different ways to make doors open as on real car. I examined model car building forums and videos on youtube.
    In conclusion I came up with my own design for my doors. So I made up bracket with 140 degrees bend and door tracking bracket that helps to keep door firm when it opens and closes. Tracking bracket also serves as door open position limiter and it also holds door up when in open position.
    Now, door position and functionality you see in pictures is for trial purposes, to see if my system works. I still have to make hinge mechanism for other side door and make adjustments on both doors for gaps.

    the joy starts just about today, taking off all the hinges and making them now from solid wood instead of ply. Once
    done will work perfect. Trying to make them in the way that I can remove one of the doors for show off purposes as I do
    sometime visit local woodworking training centres with my pieces.
