Hello everyone, I'm wondering if you can help me out with your opinions of this scissor door. Not because I'm going to change my mind, but because
I'm so absorbed in this mess that I think anything everything looks appropriate.

I made a crappy template out of cardboard and foam to replicate the hood contour, and clearance. Thankfully it doesn't have to look pretty; it did
a good job of illustrating the before & after position with the proposed door modification.

In order for the door to clear the body, this section
will need to be cut out, and closed off "inward/concave/opposite"...ya know what I mean?

Once that is complete, the section of the hood that covers the door will need to be 'glassed onto the door. This is my last attempt, and it must work
otherwise I'm tossing the hinges.

What is your honest opinion of the swing angle, vertical height, and lateral distance at the moment? With the section of the fender cut back, the door
will be able to lift more vertical, and it won't fall laterally as much. It is pushed out that far because it's forced by the interference.

Let's predict a final vertical angle of 70 degrees, and lateral swing of about half.

Some constructive criticism please?
