Hey guys... I am thinking about doing a Gullwing door conversion on my Trans Am convertible and I need a definitive answer on the structural integrity of the A-Pillar. Do they share the same A-Pillar with the coups or have they been reinforced?
I will more than likely be using the GTFactory Gullwing system and the way it's designed, a channel is but into the pillar and the hinge is recessed into it (please see Install link below for info and pics).
PLEASE!!! Let's not make this a typical thread that gets derailed with personal opinions and attacks! I'm simply looking for an answer to an important question.![Winky](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_wink.gif)
And YES, I know these are not "REAL" gullwing doors, like what's on the DeLoren, but the A/M refers to this style as "Gullwing" so they are "Gullwing" doors! Let's not get into that pointless debate!![The Judge](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_judge.gif)
