SA22C Pentax Evocation

I am about to repaint my SA22C as a #20 Pentax (Win Percy) replica. Owned for 30 years and race tuned. I am thinking of scissor doors. My son said "did the original car have scissor doors?".
She will still look the same from the outside; what do people think? 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Scissor doors only work if there is no window frame and the door is much longer than it is tall.

Otherwise, show us some before/after and on track photos!

How about race car doors? Strip them out and weld them shut!

Here in my country, Argentina, in the city of Zárate 75 kilometers at the north from Buenos Aires, the owner of an RX7 Cabriolet reformed the doors and turned them into scissors (here we call them wings). The car looked very good. It is one of the few, very few RX7 Cabriolets in Argentina. But I would never do it to my car. I prefer it original.
