It looks like you and I sing from the same song sheet on this sort of thing CB. I wanted the 80 Gullwings to look OE and although I had to compromise a little the bulk remains as I wanted, unobtrusive and aesthetically pleasing.
I am now looking for expressions of interest here for 100 and 105 Gullwing doors.
Briefly, if you haven't seen the thread in the 80 section, these are side door panels designed to be as OEM looking as I can which allow access from where the side rearmost windows are located. Fitting is generally straight forward and involves replacing the glass with the aluminium door on the original rubber (this is something I am looking into as to how the windows fit. Cost should be similar to the 80 series ones but will be confirmed later.

A Molle panel is soon to be available

So, if you are interested, please pop your name down below. No absolute commitment at this stage. I will link to this from the 105 section as I believe the body sections are identical (tell me if I'm wrong here). I need to produce 5 pairs really to make development and costs reasonable.

A 60 might be easier to do Ben as it would likely be the same format as an 80 but it still needs a truck to work from for the whole of the development. If I do a 60 series set the market would be small so I would need to recover development costs from a small number of doors making them rather expensive I fear.Add me to your next list of 60 series gullwings please Rich
Yes Rich, there would be a very small number i expect. What is the preferred batch size?A 60 might be easier to do Ben as it would likely be the same format as an 80 but it still needs a truck to work from for the whole of the development.

Difficult to say Ben but at 10 pairs I hadn’t broken even with the 80 ones, not including my time. I would do a New model differently though but whatever happens I need a truck of the type to be able to do the drawing and try prototypes which should be easier now I know the format.Yes Rich, there would be a very small number i expect.
