Hi Paul,

Welcome to the group.

I have a question for you.  If you have a parts car, why convert a 4 
door to a 2 door?

I feel that it will be easier to either swap the floor and trunk pan 
from the 4 door to the 2 door or purchase the floor pans and trunk 
apnels from Shermans or some such place.  The conversion requires a lot 
of spot weld drilling also but just seems more complicated.  

With floors and the trunk, any missed spot welds or goofy looking holes 
or whatever is ultimately hidden.  Also, as a pointer, the replacement 
floor pans are sized for a Plymouth and will need a 3" strip added to 
the rear portion.  You will see what I mean when you purchase the pans.  
If you drill out the 4 door floor, there is no problem and the pans will 
fit beautifully.

If you choose to actually convert the 4 door, please document the 
process with many photos so others can follow that path is they want to.

Good luck.

Kevin
