    I just picked up a 62 willys that came with the Metro Engineering hard top. But alas, no doors. Now I am on a hunt for a door that will work with the top. Any suggestions?

    Also, has anyone here stripped their aluminum top and polished it?

    I have that same hardtop (also with no doors), but mine has no manufacturer's tag. That top, I believe, is what is commonly called an "Arctic hardtop" that was used on the M38A-1 Jeeps.
    Thats an interesting Jeep that the top is mounted on, a militarized version of the CJ5 with the battery box in the cowl, rather than an A-1

    Inside of the hardtop? I pulled it off to work on the interior sheet metal.

    Likely you are going to find Meyer doors if you find any separate from a hard top. They are steel, and oof ... heavy. I have a pair of them somewhere, but I'm too far from you to be of use.

    Bestop will sell fabric doors by themselves, or you could look for some M38A1 fabric doors. Unlikely they will fit without some mods.

    Or make your own out of exterior grade plywood.
