I was going to ask why you would want to take them out... then the photo loaded... OMG.. that is a bunch of fuel tank.. yea they are not something you just unbolted or peal out. I could do it at work real easy but we have the stuff to do crazy things at work.

What do you do at work that you see door panels and crash bars?

Uuuuummm, how to discribe what I do at work is not that easy. I weld, and rewire harnesses on new GM and Dodge trucks, hydraulics, bypass airbags... I could go on but it is to hard to keep thinking of all the strange stuff I do. We also suicide the rear doors on Suburban, body lifts, suspension lifts..
Here try this.. Google Ryno Mobility .. Check out our Dodge Minivan conversion, as to door panels and crash bars check out the doors of the Chevy 2500 in the videos.

I took my heads off my 3.4 and found that I have cracked Cylinders on both sides....I dont really see how the engine even cranked and ran....This project just started......DAYUM!!!!!!!!!!!
I was gonna run the heads in and have them checked and slap them back on with new headbolts.....I almost cried!!!
I have to check some threads, but I think the 3.8 can't swap either.....sooooo.......I'm looking for an engine.

Went for a drive out to Wylie Texas to see a painter about painting front and rear black out panels on it

Find a pair of early 2nd gen doors. They don't have crash bars; at least my '71 doesn't. Not sure when they added them, but I'd bet 1974 or later.

All I did was move the Camaro around today. It's been exiled to the backyard canopy in preparation for my Austin gasser coming home from paint. Need the garage to reassemble the gasser.
