Now I want to know what’s inside those doors
Floors too if they did a good job.

Engine block may provide protection... AFAIAC, anything else is just camouflage... I like when Hollywood uses drywall for bullet protection the bestI hope it's more than 3/16th's. I thought I was good with that thickness for a target for my .223 Colt Sporter. Nahhh, burned a whole the size of my pinky thru it!
After that I laugh at the movies when a guy is hiding behind a garbage can or filing cabinet and being shot at with an AR. Lol
I never got to play around with anything armored... but during my early days at MB I often stumbled into the "special protection" information of their factory packaged cars... never worked on one, but they used hydraulics on moveable glass... and had various reinforced suspension components. Personally, I'm more curious what was done to help her carry the weight.I have tested numerous armored civilian vehicles in recent years for endurance, performance and ballistic capabilities at the Army Test Center.
More than likely the door handle was moved because of the thickness of the ballistic glass and whatever armor plate that is inside of the door. Almost every armored civilian vehicle I have tested the windows are in a fixed position and won't open.

Breath when the A/c goes out......?Exactly....thats the purpose of the ballstic glass.
Inside door ....Pretty moldy inside. I'd start by getting it outside, opening all the doors and airing it out. You may find some info on who did the coach work in the trunk or after removing the door panels.
I'm dying to see how thick the armor plating is inside those doors.
That's an outside door handle and keyhole.I was hoping he’d just pull the inner door panel off...
Thanks Stan, I recognized it as soon as I saw it.That's an outside door handle and keyhole.
Ummm... thank you... but that was a bit more than expected or desired.View attachment 191944
Inside door ....
Bob would certainly know more, but I suspect that is more about deflecting than stopping... not a very happy thought. Maybe there is another plate under the door panel inside?Unless there's more in there,I think my AR will punch right thru that.
Congrats... on both counts... sure to be memorable now.Thanks Stan, I recognized it as soon as I saw it.
Ha! How about that, poking Stan on my 20k post!
