// About this kit

Part number: VDCCHEVYCORC36882
Fits: Chevrolet Corvette C-31968–1982
Made by: Vertical Doors, Inc., USA
In the kit: Left and right hinge assemblies, gas shocks, mounting hardware, instructions

Part number VDCCHEVYCORC36882 comes from Vertical Doors, Inc., the only manufacturer of vertical lambo door conversions in the USA, with more than 20 years of building them. The kit is made in America from domestic hardened steel, carries a US patent, and fits every trim of the Chevrolet Corvette C3, covering the full 1968 through 1982 run.

2 Vertical Doors, Inc. lambo door hinges, one for each side
2 gas shocks
All mounting hardware needed for the conversion

The hinges are a direct bolt-on and mount to the factory bolt pattern, so the kit works with the mounting points your Corvette already has instead of forcing a universal design onto it. The conversion is also completely reversible, which means the car can go back to its stock doors if you ever change your mind. An instruction manual ships in the box and VDI backs every kit with free tech support, but we recommend having a professional shop handle the install using the instructions supplied with the kit. Each kit is prototyped on the actual chassis it is sold for, so this one was worked out on a C3 before it ever went into a box.

The door first swings out on the vertical pin, then lifts on the round bearing hub, and the gas shock holds it up: the two-stage motion in VDI's patent (US 6,845,547). Each kit has right and left hinge assemblies, two gas shocks, M8 bolts with washers, shoulder bolts and pins (VDI install manuals); set screw #2 and nut #1 adjust where the door closes. A typical kit, drawn from VDI's Crossfire manual: the plate, arm, brackets, shock and angles differ by vehicle, and each kit is made for its car.
