I saw an ad in magazine for C3 vertical doors. Just curious, does anybody have these vertical doors on your C3? How do you like them? Some pics would be nice.
Any negitive comments too?? Thanks .....steve

I've seen vertical conversions on several different cars/trucks, but no Sharks. My opinion of the ones I've seen is they are junk. The doors flop around when open, and seem to have a problem closing without gouging the body on the way down.
For a show car, they may be ok, but for a car that is driven...not so much...

Yea, it makes sense they would have problems. I have never seen any vertical doors on any kind of car where I live and not even at the car shows. I saw this ad in Vette magazine that showed a C3. Just curious, not really interested.

i don't care for them. saw them on a mustang cobra at a car show and all they do is flop and appear to be rather weak.

So what happens if you roll the car over, do you have to wait for someone to come roll you back over to get the doors open
