1966 door

[Peter Östrand <peter.ostrand@xxxxxxxxx>]

Title: Meddelande

Chris Hawkins and Arran Foster, thanks!

 

I have a body man that will fix the smashed door and fender, but the door is really bad so we will search for a ¨new¨ door, we give it a week and if we don´t find a door the body man will fix my door.

Summer in Sweden is short so I want this fixed as soon as possible.

 

Best Regards

Peter;

 Find a retired body man to have a look at your door and see if it can be fixed. Unlike Chebby's or Plymouths, the doors off of a 66' Imperial two door or convertable are a lot harder to come by, especially in Europe, and should be repaired whenever possible. Of course if it's too far gone one of the junkyards in the states might have one but that should only be used as a last resort, the freight will kill you. Another idea, if you have a junker fdht., would be to lengthen one of the front doors off of those by borrowing some material from the rear door and splicing it in. Alternatelly the exterior of the fdht. door panels could be used to replace the crumpled one on the convertable. However there might be enough of a difference between a tdht. door and a fdht. door that it may not work.

Best Regards

Hi all,

 

A ¨friend¨ of my smashed the passengerdoor on one of my 1966 converts, using his Ca*****c inside the garage.

 

Will a door from a 1965 4-door Crown fit?

I guess a door from a 64-65 convert also will fit, any other door i could use?
