Hello, my name is Craig Clark a.k.a. short-stack. I got this 51 back in september with the intention of getting it running and just driving it....well one thing led to another, and another. so now its got 4" out of the roof, 4 door is becoming a 2 door, suspension, motor/ trans swap, you know the drill.
Welcome. Got any more pics of the 4 dr. to 2 dr. conversion? It looks like you stretched the front doors. How hard is that? Would you get tudor doors if you had to do it all over again?
well from what i have found out the tudor sedan doors are the same as a 4-door....someone correct me if im wrong. the only doors that are longer are the 2 dr hardtop....which have no upper door frame. i stretched the fronts 5 inches...i used the 5 inches i cut out of the rears to fill it in . the hardest part will be getting the inner part of the door filled in. I am much further along than the pics show....just need to get the film developed.
Welcome ! Looks like you don't have to think about what to fill your spare time with for a while. More pics would be great !
[QU OTE=J.B.]Welcome ! All tudor and coupe doors are longer than the 4 doors are. Looks like you have a good start on a nice car. I'm originally from 30 miles south of you.
