Lots of good ideas and a very interesting build. Take some time to read through.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Mike!

I'm building an Aventador. I think it has the most dramatic door angle of all the lambos.  I measured it at 19degrees... (doing that from memory... check my thread to confirm that).  I took an Aventador pic taken from the front with the doors open and stuck it into a basic CAD program.... Easy enough to measure the angle from that.  Protractor works too... if you have one.

One of the key things is to get the hinge as high a possible under the fender. You'll also find yourself fighting to get it out next to the fender.  The one downside of roller bearings is that once you put them at an angle they interfere with the fender somewhat.  The latch mechanism also gets installed at the same angle. Once installed properly the door opens with a single degree of freedom.

Guys,

Thanks for the words of wisdom.

RT,
The wobble is coming from the hinge....and I think is magnified as you explained

Neils88,
How much of an angle (angle relative to what). Do you have pictures of your hinges? if you want to share PM me please.

Check out this guys video, it shows a pretty good example of how to make stable doors.  Not the only way but it's a good example.

I made my hinges using roller bearings instead of a simple pin joint. That helped eliminate any movement.
