Here are a few photos, most are the back door, last one is side door.

I welded a thick wall 25x25 sq tube in the inner gutter then made the cut outs for the hinges and welded it all in.

Note this will only work with no gutters, is designed to use the hinges as stops so doors only lift 90 degrees
and would be really hard to do with roof on SWB

There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

Ahhh, not true. :P  It was actually in full running order till about 18 months ago. I just haven't done anything to it in that time. The door has been up and down quite frequently over that time.  ;)
