It used to be a four door. Those are the wheels I will be using. It has a 318 for now.

Welcome to the site from NC - Great project car you have there for sure - and I admit to being totally biased on the 62s I'd also pitch for some additional photos, especially of the conversion build up that was done on it. I think you'll enjoy the uniqueness and attention your car will get when you get it finished..

I have to say something here (or ask the question) because I seem to keep running into this observation. As far as I know the body lines on all the 62 Plymouths are supposed to be the same, even 2 door to 4 door. My 62' more door, is the only 62' I've ever had. The body lines on it are all original - unchanged. I seem to keep running into other 62's that "look" different ..... specifically they appear more "rounded" if that is the right term to use. When I look at the roof line on your car here and compare it to mine it appears that the front and rear of the roof drop down more before the glass starts - as if the roof is more rounded... But I also know the glass is supposed to be the same 2 to 4 door and of course if yours started out as a 4 door it should be the same anyway. Even the trunk lid seems to slope off more on yours giving the appearance of being more rounded. Has anyone else ever noticed this or do you see something comparing my pictures - or is it just me?? Last year at a local Mopar event we had my car along side of another red 62' 2 door (original 2 door) and several of us were making similar observations.

Good looking car. Post some before pics if you can. More of the after as well!

Maybe the trim is throwing you off? The fury and the savoy trim is different maybe that is what you are seeing?

2 Door and 4 door are identical. Convertible deck lid is different. I keep trying to get my son to turn his into a 2 door. He says it looks just like a 10 second car the way it is, 10.99@123.

hey stumper from my view ,marshallones 62 has the trim on behind rear door and top drip rail and yours does not , with the trim on it looks narrower from back of rear door to the rear window , hence opctical illusion , either way cool rides ! !

Welcome nice ride, wish I had pics of all the stuff I did to my ride over the years, keep us posted on your project

Done some bodywork on the drivers side. Gathered more parts for the 413. Had a chevy guy tell me the front wheels were chevy rallye wheels and that my hubs and spindles were modified to fit the chevy wheels.
