The
Heavy Duty DOOR construction is superior to
any other fiberglass Door on the market.
The doors finish is made with a gray custom blended sandable
type of gellcoat. Designed exclusively
for superior paint
adhesion. The micro pores in this gellcoat are easily sanded and
powder off just like a high quality primer which allows for good primer
adhesion. Make sure your next fiberglass part(s) come with a sanding
type gellcoat, Standard gellcoats are not designed to be painted and
offer poor paint adhesion qualities.
Coremat®
is hand laid in it proper location. This core material reduces the
amount of "print thru" which could eventually appear on the
surface. Next, another layer of fiberglass is applied by machine
then hand rolled again to insure consistency. The final coat is a
superior grade of fiberglass mat - which is laid in by had and wet out by
machine.

The door's inner
liner is manufactured with the same care
and concern as the hoods outer
skin. Aluminum plates are used in the hinge area. The entire inner liner is
smooth, gellcoated and ready to be primed and painted.
These 2 panels
are then assembled in our jigs an left at least 16 hours to cure.
These methods of manufacturing produce a far superior product
compared to others in this industry.
DOOR
INSTALLATION
Installing New Heavy Duty fiberglass doors can be both rewarding
and frustrating. (If not familiar with basic hand tools).
Doors arrive as a basic shell - with no mechanism, glass, tracks or
hardware. The blank shell generally has the window blanked in solid
and all holes are closed. We recommend cutting the window
blanks out , leaving 1/8" all the way around. This remainder
can be sanded to the proper opening size, while fitting the felt.
Regulator ,
Latch, Handle & Window tracks, must be removed from the original door
(often the tracks are spot welded and need to be drilled fro
removal). The door is hollow in the post area so that the upper felt
can be epoxyed in place. We recommend waxing the back side of the
felt for easier removal in the future. The lower wiper felts can be
easily installed by epoxying small block on the doors interior edge, to
attach to. We recommend several #3 phillips flat head screws - no
more that 1/2" long.
Make sure you trial fit
your window and regulator mechanism , while opening the holes, to ensure
the proper size. (Do not open too far). Some elongation may be
necessary for proper fit.
You may need to
sand the edges for proper gap - Glass doors usually require a gap just
slightly larger than stock.
Once finished
with the first door - the second should take less than 1/3 the time - now
that the process is familiar. These doors could last the life of the
vehicle and are permanently RUST FREE.
Please note -
Fiberglass doors are not approved or crash tested - therefore we
make no claims to safety or impact resistance of these products. We
intend them to be used for show purposes only - Use at Your Own
Rick. Safety is solely the responsibility of the installer.
