Volksrods Garage Door and Victorian Door (#10 and #11)

 This pair of doors was really fun.  They are actually Siamesed together..sort of his and hers.  I built them for my good friend Steve Pejka who runs Volksrods.com ( website site for folks that like to "hot rod" old VWs)

Side one is the Volksrods Garage side.  Weather old garage door with all kinds of details. 
There is a bottle opener and bottle caps, an old VW hubcap, a Volksrods club plaque, broken windows (even some patched up with an old PBR case. 
There is an old industrial looking light over the door and a weathered tin sign with some bullet holes for good measure.
There is an old beat up roll-up window shade inside the door and a padlock and clasp for security.
 Side 2 is a proper Victorian looking door with wonderful detail in the half circle top and copper hardware. 
For the circular molding, I turned a block of modeling foam on my wood lathe and then cut it in half.  You will see the other off on one of the other doors that I built.
