Default roll-up doors

Bob thanks for the info on ROM, I got a bid and samples of their door harware. I have not decided between the two manufactures, lots to think about. Yesterday I finished the framing for the doors so now the sizes are set. I had a big Oops in my designing. I was told by one of the door companies that I could use 2" tubing all the way around the door. Not true if you want the door flush with the outside of the bodywork. The roll needs to be as close to the front of the body works as possible. I ended up cutting out 36' of 2 x 5 tubing and replacing it with 2 x 2 welded to 1/8" flat bar. Lots of work and money. Although it is hard to get good pictures inside the shop, I will post some. Next up is to order the doors (3 weeks delivery time) and build the rest of the compartment framing along with the rear lower bodywork and wheel wells.
