I'll take some pics, and also make a sketch with measurements.

The doors have never been on a car - so they should be as original as they come from SVM. One of the doors needs a little work on the corner - - but not a difficult fix for someone with a little knowledge of working glass. I think it can be bonded using Duraglass, and the seem would easily fill with a high solids primer... but hey, what do I know :-)

With respect to the dimension being anything close to original... I have doubts. Every one of the body manufactures has their own little 'tweaks' in the body. I had these doors back when I had a CSX body in the shop - and they were a bit narrower, and the roll at the top was closer to 90 degrees. I think the radius on the top where they meet the cowl is also a bit different, as the SVM cowl hoop is larger diameter, and located further back than the originals. That said, they would be a good start if someone needed a door to modify for their car.

If anyone want pics - be sure to send me an email, as the pics
will be too large to post here on the thread.

Mickmate... I have some orignal frame parts if ya need 'em (main tubes & rear arch). I've had them for years, they came with an old body I bought from a Ford engineer... I'm told they were made in the prototype shop when Ford was planning to build some of the first gen electric cars, and used a longer version of the Cobra body and chassis as a pilot. Don't know if the story is true - but it sounded good to me
Current price is $55 plus shipping...
