I might actually do this...

The goals are to:
- have rain protection while getting in & out (similar to gullwings)
- have a larger opening (UNlike lambos would do)
- open in a standard parking space (UNlike gullwings would do)
- open & close easily & intuitively
- NOT interfere with a pop-up sunroof
- retrofit & align easily & inexpensively
- remove easily for off-roading
- provide at least as much security & safety as the originals

The idea occurred to me back in the 90s, but I haven't developed it much due to lack of a body tub & doors to experiment with, or fabrication equipment, or a work area that large, or time, or money, or...

But since I'm swapping body tubs again, I have the parts. And I bought a nice welder. And I have access to the other stuff. I'm just trying to find the TIME now.
