I had an evil thought with a 4 door 210 55 I just drug in

Its floors are pretty shot but it would be a great 4 door to 2 door conversion project! It seems like there was one on ebay not too long ago. Anyone ever attempted a bodydrop?

Hafrod,
if I had to put money on anyone attempting the 4 to 2 dr conversion,
it would definatly be on you ,seeing what you have acheived in the past.
.
not quite sure what you mean by 'bodydrop' though

Basically means channelling the body over the frame to get the low look. This would be alot of fabbing but thats my favorite thing to do anyway.

So, what are you selling? You might give me the links, I might need another project.

I seem to remember some younguns putting a '56 wagon on a caprice chassis w/air on the Hot Rod Powertour a couple years ago. I think is was channeled as well. I've seen it in some of Hot Rod's ads also.
