How hard would it be to convert a 4 door hard top to a 2 door hard top? You could weld up the rear door, but what about using the doors from a 2 door and moving the center support column back x inches and welding on new skin? For sake of argument I found a nice 61 Dodge Phoenix 4 door, but teh 4 door kinda sucks. I know at least one person on here converted a 4 door HT. I think it was a 60 Buick.

Thanks

choprods brother (scarliner?) converted a 60 Ford from a 4dr to a 2dr. Looks f'n cool in person, he did a great job.

Have wondered what a 4dr flattop would look like in 2dr mode, but all the photoshops I've done make em look odd.

sent you a PM, Mike, but I'd still like to hear how you guys did it, just for "tech" purposes. Yeah, it was Scarliner I was thinking of.
