Cutting a 4 door down to a 2 door

[werner]

The 6 cylinder class in oval track is steel body only and for CHD it has to be a matching engine as well.

Don't know if this will help.

The right thing is to move the door post back about 6 inches and then lengthen the front doors using a section of the rear doors and fill the rear gap with two donor rear doors ... I would do it ...

I am not even close to qualified to do this, but it has my interest and i wanna try so bad haha

The info i am battling to find is the correct final door size, and the distance to move the post.

when I worked at Ford and watched Bernie Mariner build the first Cortina bakkie prototype he used the Cortina 2 door station wagon and made no change to the front post! To move the front post will be a structural disaster!!

My suggestion to you is to search for a 2 door Cortina wagon to retain the correct chassis and just modify the rear end! If you really need to!!

Thanks, will look for a wagon
