I'm in the process of restoring a 70 road runner vert that I got as a project.

It came with a replacement door, but I noticed the door lock/unlock button is positioned at the end of the door. My 70 has it midway to the front of the car.

I don't want to buy a new door shell, but my door has cancer as well as needing to be reskined due to collision damage.

Can I use the 68 door on my 70 road runner just by drilling the necessary holes to move the door lock to the proper position? I would then weld the other hole shut.

I have more pics if needed. But it appears the only difference in the doors I have is the lock buttons position.

Any help is appreciated

thanks
Tom
