Suicide doors

I was looking into converting my doors to suicide and was wondering if there are cheaper ways then buying autolocs $400 hinge kit?

unless you can fab up your own hinges then no.

I wonder if reversing the stock hinges will work.

Ok, how experienced of a body man/fabricator/TIG Welder are you?
In my book, this is like a 9/10 on hard ass shit to do...

I can see it being done but you pretty much gotta reverse everything. Then make it all line up, im not sure the best route to go about this.

Plus the door locking hardware will have to be moved to the other side of the door. Towards front of car. That in itself would be pretty much amazing to do in itself. Making the handle work and what not. The hinges dont look too hard at all and it seems like you got plenty of space on the rear side of the door to mount them, my only concern is you have a very thing space back up front in order to place the locking mechanisms...

It can be done. It wont be easy.
