Done correctly is there any noticeable difference?

There shouldn't be since the dimensions are the same.

None.

Both 2 doors and 4 doors have the same roof, rockers, and floorpans so it's a natural conversion.

I should've done it with a mint '64 Dodge 4 door that I sold way too cheap a few years back!

The link below is to my photo album of a '62 wagon conversion, a sedan will be the same. It seems that all of the early B bodies were built as 4-doors; to make a 2-door, the rear door opening was covered by an interior panel and the "B" pillar was located further back.

Does anyone have info on whether this conversion can also be readily performed for the 68-70 B-bodies ?
