    There you have it. Best looking 4 door sedan ever built, PERIOD. Stock, chopped, or mild custom like your's is now.

    Make it a 3 door!. 2 door the driver's side and leave the passenger side alone. See how many notice it. I have a friend that did this to a 55 chevy and it looks good. Very few people notice it. Isn't that a sign of a good custom? When It looks like it should be like that. Suicide the rear door and tell people it was a service car option.
     
  6. I like it as a 4 door. Don't get caught up in all 2 door crap. There are to many nice 4 door cars out there that get over looked because people have their noses up in the air about it not being a 2 door. Every one is entitled to their opinion but I think the car looks great. Sorry I can't offer any tech advice but I left mine a 4 door.

    I say take it one step further and have full size 2 door doors and make the 3rd door out of what's left... like Saturn did a few years back .. a little small door on one side.

    2 doors, 3 doors, 4 doors, wagons... I like them all.

    It's not a sedan, and in spite of someone earlier saying it's silly to shave rear door handles, it works for me......

    If the lines flow right as it does on your car, just do something subtle to make it your own and enjoy........ I did.......

    Why not take the 4 door and weld up all the doors and make it a no door. You can even be creative and cut out a little Doggie door to slip in and out of.....Or not:D It's a good lookin car no matter which direction you go.

    I think production numbers on 4 door fastbacks are a lot lower than the other body styles, so its kinda rare to have a 4 dr fastback. I would leave it.

    Well, judging from the original pic of this car , and seeing what he's done to it in the next to the last post , I feel that the car should have been left alone , but hell, who am I?:confused:
