Cool https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif read.....

Sorta reminds me of the 55 Chevy 4 door conversion to a 2 door by moving the pillar back and using doors off a 2 door sedan.

Both projects are definitly labor intensive. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Al Davis still owns the real Deora; It was his father’s car and has been a family treasure for almost 40 years.
I talked to Al a few years back he told me it was at the Peterson Museum for the Hot Wheels Display. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif
