50 Mercury 4 door to 2 door conversion

Anyone crazy enough to do one of these conversion on a Merc and have some pics? Thinking about doing this as the next project. I'm ***uming the way to go is to find a good pair or doors from a 2 door to save the work of lengthening the front doors from the 4 door car. I've searched and found some good conversion posts on some Chevys..but not a Merc. Just wondering. Thanks

I will be converting my wife's car as soon as I get off my ***. If you need extra front doors off a 4 door PM me I have a set. Good luck

 

There are plenty of posts and threads on the HAMB about this very subject... use search

 

Check this thread.

This is the result of doing one without lengthening the doors.

 

You could also talk to eyeball on here...I think thats what he did...

there is a guy on the board ETHER (i think),,who did one,,i believe he do***ented it pretty well along the way,,,,,yes,,,using the 2 door doors is the way to go,,

 

I did this. It was easier than the chop. Here is a thread on it. I didn't do a very good job taking pics of it. I used 2 dr doors and b pillars.

Here is my before picture. Having four doors was not the major problem that the Merc had.



This is how much was added to the existing doors....



I have some more to do, but in time she will get done.




I didn't do the conversion but Ralph Schindel did the procedure. Lot of work but if you
have the tools and the time it can be done... Good Luck with the project. I have more
pics if you need them.

Happy Trails,

Mick
