Picked up this '62 Belvedere awhile back and decided to do another 2dr sedan conversion. I had access to a clapped out sedan for the quarter sections and traded for some rust free doors.

Today I removed the seats and trimmed down the donor sections. Tomorrow I'll remove the ds doors, bolt in the 2dr sedan door and test fit new quarter section. Will begin removing sheet metal in original rear door jam also to match what is supposed to be like for the 2dr sedan.

This was my first attempt. 63 Plymouth wagon. Wish I had kept.

A lot done this am.

wow! great project. Is it really as easy as you're making it look? Not taking away from the work you're doing, just wondering how many nice solid four doors could have been saved over the years by doing this conversion. Love the look of the early B Bodies.

I think it's too easy. I've run across many of both and unfortunately years ago never thought about. Most of the sedans were soooo rusty and probably scrapped unfortunately and the 4drs gave up the parts. Hardest physical part of this conversion is the time consuming spot weld drilling and that's not even hard just time consuming.

I'm doing a 63 Plymouth after mine for a buddy. He couldn't find a true 2dr sedan he could afford that was solid.

Have done a little more trimming and fitting the last couple days. Have cut out where the rear door jam was. Did this to open up that area as it would be on the sedan. Spent extra time on getting drivers door aligned so could fit the donor quarter piece in and have it lined up so gaps are correct. Now that have everything fitted correctly I'll take it all apart again and sofa blast the donor quarter, door and drill the spot weld holes on the interior perimeter.

lookin good!

Coming along.

fantastic work. your wagon looked killer

More work today.

Wow, look. A three door.

Great work so far! I have a pair of 64 conversion panels I saved, I want to do this conversion.

I like it!

All welded in and body work roughed in. Looking pretty good. Need to fix a dent at door line still.

Nicely done, what a great project!

Was busy today. Took apart passenger side, bolted in door and aligned donor section

All welded up.

All done with the conversion. Now time to strip trim and massage rest of car in prep for paint.

Great job! You're a talented guy as you make it look easy.

Darn it you've now got me out looking at my 4 dr 62 (the one you sold me the door panels for) wondering if I should do the same thing.

Keep up the good work. Anxious to see it finished.
