    I sold a pair of 4 dr front doors to a fella who converted them for his 5 window, said they worked good? Have you looked at the new doors from UPAC?
     

  5. I'd think it would be better to sell off the Tudor doors, buy some really nice fordor fronts, and trim those to fit. Invest the leftover cash in some grinding discs.

    OR check out brand new metal doors from UPAC, like he said.
     
  6. Do't ruin a set of tudor doors:(:(:(

    Just lengthen the rest of the car. Give yourself more interior space.

    Isn't that what Loudpedal did with the "Green Grenade" model A coupe?

    You can re skin that door for a lot less than a new one. It doesn't look that bad. If you had to buy a new one, the price is reasonable. You couldn't begin to make one for that price. Looks like a great piece to start with. Can't wait to see it when done!

    It looks like a great start to me, and yes that door does look fixable. Good luck...

    At $2,100. each with FREE shipping, they might move more. Bob
     
  19. I agree with the others. You can fix that door. Re-skin it and you can even lead the thin parts at the pillars or fabricate new ones. If you chop it you have less metal to replace...
