So i've been doing a good deal of thought
doors weight TOO MUCH hence i've thought about making my doors fiberglass and maybe having them C/F wrapped for good looks the shell of the should be easy for me to make since its make a mold of the door then create 5 layers inside that... the rest i'm a lil worried about is the strength issues and such? any opinions |

It would be a safety issue but there is always ingenuity. The main reinforcement of the door is the frame itself and not the metal (skin). The skin itself is actually quite thin and easy to penetrate.
You could design a door using the stock frame and then have a PROFESSIONAL welder (I talked to my uncle who is one of the best welders I know always doing the impossible and he said the idea is more than feasible) make reinforcements behind youre fiberglass skin. It would provide the safety you need and let you be creative with your ideas. Just a thought to roll over... -------------------- Armed? Armed with what?
Oh I dunno, colorful language, bad breath, a feather duster...Whatta you think theyre armed with guns you tit! |
