I had the car at Carlisle and some had a chance to see it and take pictures.
This is the steel framing inside my driver's door. The heavy wall 1" steel tube positioned outside the window is a side impact safety bar. I hope I never have to use it. It is positioned in as straight a line as possible from hinge to latch. This means it will bend, not twist, if impacted because the ends don't have a lever arm to the main connection with the frame.
I was also able to use the tube to attach my lock solenoid.
I am using original lamborghini lock button/release button and Lamborghini inside door handles. I want all of them to work just like the original and have devised linkage and cabling to have them all function. That is why there is all that linkage near the door latch.
For those who haven't skinned their doors yet, don't forget to paint all the steel and fiberglass inside the door. Water will get inside the door from washing or rain and can rust bare steel. Even though you won't see that, the rusty water will run through the drain hole in the lowest part of the door and run over your rocker panel paint leaving stains. The fiberglass should be painted too because that will also contaminate the water and leave stains. Just be sure to sand off the paint in the areas that will be bonded.
