62 Plymouth 2dr Sedan Comversion- getting ready

[Rolling Thunder]

Picked up this beautiful 62 4dr awhile back and now getting ready to start its 2dr conversion. Had some rust free fenders shipped in from CA to make about 99% rust free now.

Looks like a real nice Base to start with. Very solid looking.

The 62 is my favorite year plymouth "B"2 or 4 door. Good luck with your build and we will be watching as more are doing(and wanting to) that conversion.

good looking 62 keep us posted on your progress

been picking up some more parts for the conversion and spent day sanding down the new doors and putting some etch prime on.

No cancer in the new doors but have a few small dings and one crease to fix

Getting ready to dissect the 1/4 donor section from the 2dr sedan. Going to separate outer skin from inner section and blast all the parts and prime so can go back together new and clean. Will drill out all spot welds and put back together on car. Remove 4drs, remove center post, open rocker area where new section going on, tack in inner quarter section, hang outer quarter skin. And finess. Kinda straight forward. If you look closely in pics you can see in the photo of the backside inner of the 2dr sedan section where the rear door would fit if was going to be a 4dr.

Did this to my 63 wagon years ago and looked great. After this one its on to my buddies 63 belvedere.

Pulled front and rear seats out today and started trimming out the ds donor quarter section. Tomorrow ds doors come off and the magic really starts to happen.
