1961-63 f85 cutlass convertible fenders and door

i am looking for a passengers side door (prefer complete with window assembly) and both front fenders for a 1962 Oldsmobile F85 Cutlass convertible.

I would appreciate any thing you have or have leads on.

Thanks

Dan

FYI, the 63 sheet metal is completely different from the 61-62 parts. Also, as you probably know, only the Cutlass convertible and Jetfire doors are compatible. To open your search a little, Buick DID make Skylark hardtops and those doors also interchange for 61-62. The Tempest convertible doors should also interchange. Good luck.

I have wondered about the interchangeability of BOP Y body doors. Other then trim, they do all look the same. I also recently discovered that apparently, the Pontiac deck lid, while styled different, will fit on an Olds. What I don't understand is, why the Olds convertible and Jetfire doors interchange, but not the Cutlass hardtop? From a manufacturing stand point, that makes zero sense to me.

There is no such thing as a 1961-63 Cutlass hardtop. The only Y-body hardtops built by Olds were the 62-63 Jetfires. All other Cutlass 2drs in those years were Sport Coupes. As I pointed out in Post #2, Buick DID make Skylark hardtops.

Ah... I see now. I had assumed the stainless frames on the Cutlass rolled down like the convertible to make a hardtop, but on examination, my assumption was wrong. Cutlasses of this era are post cars. Once again I learn. Still in a pinch, I wonder if a person could use the door from a coupe on a convertible by cutting and modifying? It would probably be a lot of work though.
