How much money do you think it would cost to convert a panther car from four doors to two doors?
I was thinking you would need two cars, the second would be a parts donor.
You would cut out the door post from the donor car and weld them into the good car (with it's original post still intact to keep the body stiff and straight) after the new post have been braced in the old post could be removed.
The front doors would need to be lengthened, the old rear door area would need to be skinned.
New glass would be need to be cut for the longer doors and new porthole area.
The interior would need new door panels and new rear panels.
The front seats would now need a forward tilt feature so passangers could get into the rear seats.
New door rubber would need to be fabracated.
Lets go out and by two used crown vics and get started. :)
