Central NJ an eastern PA, might be a special application I dunno(new jeeper) but it's cold and my face is frosty. Or any other parts that might be applicable I'm open to any an all advice Sicsteeth-out
 

If you can't find 'em you could always make 'em. Wouldn't be too hard, get some cardboard and make a template off the shape of the door opening. Transfer the pattern shape to plywood and cut. The hinge is pretty simple, you can make a slide window from plexiglass or just have it screwed in and sealed. If you want 'em to look really good buy some fiberglass and resin and wrap 'em in it the paint with textured paint. That way if they look a little wavy you wont see it.

Depends on your skills and how picky you are. If you don't mind just the plywood look 'till you can do better, not much. That was what I was gonna do 'till I found my hard top and doors. I had actually planned on doing the top also. It was just a suggestion, I'd think you could make the doors then improve them as you got time. I mean you might just make something to keep the cold out for now with a screwed and sealed piece of plexiglass that wouldn't open pretty quick and easy. Then as you got time you could add the sliding plexiglass or fiberglass them or even wrap them in vinal. Just a thought.
