Are you serious ? All this would be is a raised section with a radiused edge near the hinge portion of the door.
I'm a huge fan of the Myers Briggs Personality Index, and it helps me understand myself, and others. FWIW, I am the classic, old school ENTP.

I am NOT visual. I have a tough time Imagining the LOOKS of things. I have a tough time making things LOOK good. I can't imagine how things will look SPECIFICALLY.

I'm good at understanding how things WORK, and how to improve how things WORK.

I thought the idea of a FWD reverse trike would be cool. So, I built a frame. put the engine in. suspension. Then I scabbed on a nose from an old mold I had laying out back.

Then I hired a guy to do a bunch of body work to make it all look a little better, then I ran out of money to pay him more. Now I'm going to work on making it drive.

Lets be real. I'm going to make it drive, grab some numbers off it, and then report back. I certainly hope I am better then .40 Cd.

I honestly believe .20 is realistic based on the current shape, and some clean up on the rear of the fenders.

I hate the rear scoops. I'm probably going to cut them off, smooth it over, and put a HUGE stripe on the side like the pic from Kach has.

Is there anyone else out there who has the desire to build something like this? I sure am curious no one seems very interested in building something like it.

It was pretty easy.
