I THIRD that!!!!! Here is what I have and I have posted a general thread post early today and was directed here.

Ok, what am I missing, whats the spit. The rotisserie?

I have this car, but no rotisserie, only I do have this!!!! think this will help at all or do I need it to spin?

I dont fully understand the conversion. I understand I would need a set of doors. But do I also need a donor car for door jams? Or once the doors are in place, do you use the rear doors and if so, would you not need jams that match up to the front door???

Just to let you guy's know.....4dr's and 2dr's are the same . You will find that seams, spot welds , layer's of metal , w.b. and all the other little thing's are the same between the two model's. The factory just shortend the front door, ran the door sill down to the rear wheelwell , added a center post and smaller rear door. Just a quick way, for the factory to make a 4dr, without changing to much.
Here's a few crude exsamples as far as how it work's out.
Now Ive seen many different way's of doing this conversion......everyone has there own way of doing thing's .
I will go into great detail in the metal work at a later date , but for now Im trying to finish up on welding in a new trunk pan.....thats were the spit is paying off.

The center post has been removed and the 2dr sedan door was hung on the 4dr.

wow great job on the 65, I see your in the Twin Cities area do you know Larry H from JIT Powdercoating?I got my 66 Belvedere Sedan from him, good guy who has lots of knowledge of 62-69 B-bodies....he has a 4 door 64 Dodge I would love to get and do a 2 door conversion,I think that is the latest trend in the 62-65 B-bodies as the supply of nice 2 door sedans has dried up....

Yes , I think I know him.... a couple of years ago I bought a clean 65 coronet fender from him. Awhile ago ,he had a clean pair of bench seat tracks for a 65 sedan for sale on c.l. I wish I would of bought them.
I think he had a 64 or a 65 sedan at the time too, and he was unhappy with the paint job on it.
It's getting harder and harder to find any good early b-body parts around the twin-cities area worth buying. I just made a 400 mile round trip for a semi-good hood ......4dr's are the answer!!!!

Well ,I took a break on the trunk and worked on the new hood. The new hood had been smashed in on it's right side edge. First, I worked the basic shape back into it,then I had to cut some of back brace out and hammer and block the edge back into it.Then weld and grind it back. I now have a nice straight edge on the side of the hood. I hope the hood fits good on the car!!! Will find out later ......Back to welding and grinding in the trunk.
