Never had an issue with. Title/registration still says 4dr. If ever pulled over I guess keep a picture or two of project in glove box to show em was a 4dr... If they ask.
I guess a guy could have inspected also to have title show 2dr but not sure how that would play out if sold down road. Ethically one would want to pass on to others down the road it was converted. Me personally, I leave title as is.

Me personally, I leave title as is. For what it's worth, I sold a 65 Belvedere 4 dr to a local guy two years back. He did the 2 dr conversion. Did a very very nice job on it, detailed the entire engine and undercarriage, all new interior and the body in primer, only to run into problems and had to sell it. He listed it on eBay. Told me he got a lot of gas from potential buyers, claiming they would have troubles registering in their state(s). No idea how true that may be, or it they were just blowing, but it did slow down the sale. He ended up selling it outside of eBay to a guy in Florida who didn't care a bit about the title saying 4 door. I've a 64 Dodge 330 that's been converted, and haven't been concerned about the title situation. I'll do it again down the road I'm sure.

I really don't see what the big deal is, the car and VIN match, what law is violated by changing the number of doors? Unlikely the traffic stop is based on the number doors on a car driving down the road. As far as enay buyers, they likely were looking for hook to beat down the price. You could also just throw the two replaced rear doors in the trunk upon selling, and call it a DIY 4 door. In Florida they ask for color of the car upon registering it, the clerk didn't like any of my answers that included rust, natural or clear, as car was stripped at the time. I suspect the car color now is brought up on the LEO's automatic license plate recognition cameras, surprised if it now includes a door count.

Back on main subject, have good quarter patch section going into passengers side for conversion. But, drivers side donor outer quarter metal is junk and outer wheel house pretty jacked up. Seems like was hit on opening and was "fixed" poorly in past and has lots of hidden rust. So after consulting with owner of car we decided better to put a new complete AMD quarter on drivers side and a new wheel house. Excited about this cause new quarter looks amazing and going to make conversion a snap.
