With all the talk of Kitman doors being a problem to mount , I was wondering if anyone has seen a YouTube video or a very detailed “How-to” on mounting the doors ?
No I do not have a project like that now , but it would be nice to know how fast I should run away if one if offered to me with the doors never mounted !
I know that a lot of the Devins were never built because the buyers could never figure out how to mount the doors, so it’s been a fiberglass car problem for half a century !

A friend of mine built a Devin. The doors were so bad that be made his own.
There's not video: Kitman uses a different door hinge configuration than CMC did , you're supposed to figure it out on your own. I may be wrong, but I don't believe there is yet to be a single completed Kitman Speedster to dat .
It kind of reminds me of the parts spec'd for some of the earlier kit cars (not speedsters) that called for:
And on, and on......

Yeah I think Kitman or anyone who sells Speedster bodies without doors installed needs to include some templates and measurements.
Thats why I always point people to look for an Intermechanica because I believe they were all shipped with doors and hoods mounted , at least the California built bodies.
but even a CMC or Fiberab video would be nice……
