I am tossing around the idea of doing a Gullwing Door on the slider. I know the obvious problem as far as needing the room to open it, but i was wondering if you guys can give me your input. Thanks.

I love the look and it would let me use some wider tires which is my main reason for even thinking about this. From looking around here it seems that with a shorty van your sort of limited to how wide you can go with tires.

Hinges are the issue, what best suits your application, my mid Ford requires different than the usual piano hinge that is the norm.
