Okay, I figured it out. I welded both cowls to the body. I've laid out a template on both to cut them in half from front to back and hinge them from the rear so they pop up like reverse lamborghini doors. They won't be removable but I will have plenty of space to get to my spare and engine side components. Now I just have to figure out how to make them pop up under spring tension and close with magnetic latches. Any idea if a Sprint front fender will fit a Stella front fork Myke?

Not without modifications, no. The Sprint fender is too skinny, for the main thing. Check out that thread on StellaSpeed I posted for you. He figures out a nice alternative.

I would love to see a picture of what you did to make a door like reverse lamborghini doors. Welding is not my forte but I would like to do something with the door of my car because it is too noisy when I am closing it. I already changed the rubber stoppers but I figure out that it is not the problem. Mig Welding

[quote="jennydinc"]Then you should post your new project if you already finished it. You better create some kind of machine that could help you on your shop.

I don't get what you mean by your shop? Do we know you Jenny?
