I was wondering if there was a way to combine a non post door with a non post door?

Example: actual door is rusted but the post part is nice, can it be swapped with a non post door by replacing parts? Or do i need to find a post door?

 

Yeah, use the post door as a source of patch panels for the non-post door. Otherwise, no. Frame is different, window mechanism is different, etc.

 

The only thing you could swap is the door skin.The placement of the mirror is also different on a post door.It is located farther back,due to the vent post.

 

The top edge of the door skins are notched to clear the window frames, so the whole skin does not completely interchange.

 

but i can take the bottom half of the door if need be and replace that on the car right?

 

Check if 66400 (Henry) has a correct type door in his yard! He is in Tx.

 

will do thanks, but if i can repair it for free or close to i would prefer that

 

Sounds like you just want to use donor lower door for an old scabby one? If I was a betting man (and I am) I'd bet that the lower section will be a straight across patch. You're not going as high as the regulators are you? Measure 2x, cut 1.

 

Still double check with Henry in Austin. He is great to deal with and fair.

 

I have some nice non post door skins if Henry does not have a post car .

 

Well, I thought that's what I said.

 

Joe,
Do you think there was a separate part number for the post coupe door skins,or were the modified at the factory?I've never seen a set of skins that were specific for the post coupe,but I do know what you mean by the notches for the windows.

 

Brian,

The door skins carried there own part number that are unique to the 3277 models as opposed the 3687 model

 

It makes sense.I wonder if anyone has had a set of post coupe skins,and not realized it,or didn't realize it until they hung them.The notches are rolled,just like the rest of the top.I think you "could" duplicate the lines,with a hardtop door skin,but you would need the right tools,and some skill.

 

Yeah, the problem would be going the other way - post skins on a non-post door.

 

Sicky, Henry does have post cars but his yard is looking thin these days. Most of the cars are decaying really badly or are sunken in the ground so most of the lower body panels are gone. I've walked his yard a few times, the last time being the beginning of last year. He may have gotten new cars though.

It'd be worth a shot, or next time my dad runs over there I can have him talk to him about a door. Just let me know.
