Cool Homemade tube summer doors

I love wheeling with no doors and no top. My wife likes it but she wanted something for security. Specially when we ride with our three dogs. I did some research here and also took some inspiration from different products out there. Since I don't have many tools I had to make them with square tubbing to prevent the hassle of dealing with round tubbing. The cuts on the front doors were horrible. I had to use the grinder since my circular saw was too small. For the rear doors I bought a compound saw which made much better cuts.

I know that I can make them better now that I passed through the experience. But for being my second welding project, I frickin' love them!

Feedback welcome and appreciated!

I like the squared off design vs the rounded tube doors you normally see. I would buy these.
Looks great.
