Scissor Door Hinge GT Style Kit

This kit mounts one pair of doors. This is our recommended "scissor" or "jackknife" conversion kit for most production cars. These kits allow the door to swing to the side a little bit as they normally would, and then swing up. This allows the use of the existing door latches and weatherstripping. This is a much easier kit to install than our 1B4 kit, but GT style still requires good welding skills.
