More home brew tube doors

Ran out of projects this weekend and had some tubing in the garage. Not sure if I've seen any in square tubing but I think they look OK. Ordered up some paddle handle latches to finish them off.

Use this as a build thread and keep us updated with how you install the latches.

Thanks! I'll follow up when I get the latches in and get them painted up.

Anyone that hasn't taken the plunge on a welder yet needs to. I got a little 110v millermatic about a year ago and it has paid for itself many times over already. They're only abou $500 and couldn't be simpler to use.

And weld up some mirror mounts to the top hinge so you can have mirrors attached, too

EDIT: What top is that, btw?

Be very careful with the wife mod. Uninstallation can be extremely expensive. Wife mods have been known to take the Jeep and all other mods during the uninstall process. Also, make sure you service your wife mod properly as often as humanly possible. Wife mods not properly serviced may malfuction or uninstall themselves at any time.
