What should I save from the doors of a 66 4 door hd top?

more ambition than brains · 1K+ Club

As the resident "Hoarder" I am probably not the most unbiased guy to answer this post.
My son and I traded some cars back and forth, he now owns this hardtop car, I have an Impala Custom.
Have sold or scrapped two other Hardtop cars.
Have two extra sets of doors. parts of the floor are in the white Elky.
Therefore we have multiples of hardtop trim, rear glass and misc. stuff.
The Green car in photo was actually parted out in California to build an SS car.
It is being reconstituted with parts from four or five other cars.
Save everything, or I will take the scraps off your hands and add to my pile.

Besides the hinges, would anyone need anything else from the doors? Maybe the door locks or windows crank. I think the front 2/3 rds of the outer skin is the same as on a two door hard top. Might someone need patch panel. I could cut the outer skin off and pitch the rest or should I just pitch the whole door?

IF and that's a big IF, the inner frame is solid in the corners, I may be interested in the left front to repair my coupe door.

Can you get some clear pics of the corners and along the bottom pinch flange ?

Are you planning on coming to Karl's ?

I think the Inner part of the door is a little different than the 2 dr coupe. At least guy on TC said there was some difference. He was looking for sheet metal to repair a cutout that was made of accommodate a radio speaker. He said the sheet metal facing the inside had different cutouts for the window crank, etc. He is pretty knowledgable, Floyd66. I just took a quick peek at the door and the inner frame looks good.

I will be fishing in CA at the time of the meeting at Karl's in June.

Jim, you know rule number 9, never ever throw out a car part. I have found every time I do I need it within 48 hours.

OK, the abbreviation for Canada is CAN...

When I mailed the fine for my speeding violation last summer, (110km in a 80km) it was to Souix Narrows, Ontario, CA. I think that the two letter abbreviation for the country of Canada is CA. Where the CA is also a two letter abbreviation for the state of California. i will have to avoid that speed trap this year.

That is odd, because when I do a web search of the abbreviation for Canada, it comes up as a 3 letter CAN. Maybe it's 3 letters for people in this country because we already have California as 2..

That supprises me too because there is an Ontario California. Go look at your Maglight flashlight is made and you can see what I mean.

jim larson · 2K+ Club

Appear both CA and CAN along with 124 are correct.
