Here is one that may give you a little bit of inspiration. Bought it back in high school in '94, a 4 door, later in college decided to try my skill and patience and decided on chopping the top, but a 4 door chop top was not going to work, so I had to do a 2 door conversion for it to look decent. Still not done, I have alot of work to do, but its a 1953 Olds. Other changes include changing out the front sheetmetal to 51 Olds, using 2 door convertible door for the conversion and a 40's Ford rear gl*** surround. Good luck with your project.
Hey, that Olds is in better shape than my Dodge was when I got it. I agree with 56KUSTOM, it looks like you're getting a solid start towards a great car. Good Luck! ~Jef

the 53 and 54 gm cars are so versatile in that you can build a custom, sled, g***er or a lowrider out of them and they all look good...good luck with yours it looks like a solid piece to start with
