// About this kit

Part number: VDCCHEVYCIMP7176
Fits: Chevrolet Impala1971–1976
Made by: Vertical Doors, Inc., USA
In the kit: Left and right hinge assemblies, gas shocks, mounting hardware, instructions

1971 to 1976 is the fitment window for this kit: Vertical Doors, Inc. part number VDCCHEVYCIMP7176, sold here for the full-size Chevrolet Impala of those years. One thing worth knowing before you order: VDI lists this same part number in its own catalog under the 1971-1976 Chevrolet Caprice, so confirm your exact body style and door configuration first. The kit keeps your original door shells and converts them to scissor-door movement. Each door swings outward to the hinge stop, then rises vertically.

2 Vertical Doors, Inc. hinges, one for each side, made in the USA from hardened domestic steel
2 gas shocks to support the doors once raised
All mounting hardware needed for the conversion

The hinges bolt straight to the factory bolt pattern, so this is a direct bolt-on kit, and the conversion is completely reversible. Remove the kit and the car goes back to stock. The hinge design is patented in the USA. We recommend having a professional installer handle the fitting. If your car has aftermarket fenders, custom bodywork, or old collision repair around the hinge and fender area, check with Vertical Doors before ordering.

Shown: a typical VDI kit. Your kit is made for your car, so its exact plate, arm, brackets and shock differ from this drawing.

The kit you buy: mounting plate, pin and hub, swing arm, door bracket, gas shock, cam stop, boltsYour car: the body apron and the doorThe factory hinge it replacesThe kit starts as its separate pieces, then goes together in the order it's fitted. 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.
