The pic that @Mogman posted looks like an M1151A1. It appears fully armored and the doors are the flat X-door version.

Here is what the guy replied with last night. He gave me a phone number to call and it matches the one from CL.

" Well, Jason, I am a 74-year-old Vet with a Flip phone! LOL, I bought 34 Humvee and have closed my shop no website I have been in the business for about 15 years know all the major players, and have sold over 300 doors of all kinds. I have lots of references including a lot of police. One phone call will set you at ease. Check out my facebook. I just came back from Atlanta last Monday and brought back 5 sets and the last sold yesterday. I have two slantbacks here your welcome to come see. And at this low price you can see why I have trouble keeping them in stock. Most we dop ship Tim 419 901 6510"

I may call him at least and see what he has to say. It may still be a scam.

I can’t say scam or not but he has grammar, diction and spelling errors consistent with a Nigerian scammer - or a 74 year old dude with a flipfone.

I called and talked to the guy yesterday and though it still does sound a little scammy, I've pulled enough info together to figure out that the guy he works with is from this business, North Georgia Corvette and Muscle. The guys name is Chris Gowin and his FB page seems more legit. (1) Facebook

The guy from Sandusky, OH makes a couple of trips to this guys shop and picks up doors for customers up this way a couple times a year. He currently doesn't have any but I am going to contact Chris and see what he says.

I also found a youtube video from a guy who bought these doors and he was showing an install.

I called and talked to Chris. He did say these doors were molded and they were made to fit a hard top. He said with a soft top, there will be a gap at the c-pillar but it's easy to make a filler for. I think you kinda see that in the video I attached from youtube.

He did say they were working on a fiberglass hard top that would be out next year and it could be converted from a 4 man to a wagon. He thought the price point would be around $2k so this sounds very promising also.

He was going to send me some pics of the gap so I'll post if I get them.

Why not just buy them straight from the Georgia corvette guy? He’s legit and they were only $2000 last time I saw his pricing
Yeah, I called and talked to him yesterday. The most recent FB post I found has them at $2400 + shipping but I did see the $2k somewhere also. I just can't seem to find it again. He is working me up a quote today.
