yeah, it would be much more easier to do that, but in my country there isn't any 1965 2 door comets

I measured my 2 dr hardtop & it is 48 5/8'' long just above the door handle. what country are you in?

That's a fairly common conversion on the mid 60's mopar products. Without a doubt it is a lot of work and really takes a few 2 door parts to make it work out right. That said, if 2 doors aren't available where you are and that is what you want, why not go for it? Make the car what you want. Other opinions really shouldn't count.

Assuming you move ahead, please post lots of photos

Most important are you wanting to convert it to a hardtop or sedan? Hardtop would require a new roof as well. If I was doing it I would buy a set of whoever doors and go for it!

this guy did something kind of similar. he started with a 4 dr wagon.now it's a 2dr,chopped top,laid back windshield which is now a hardtop windshield, ( 3-4'' shorter than sedan windshield),I think he said he used the top leading edge of a HT roof,,,and made it a sedan delivery. I believe he said he got the B pillar & part of the quarter. & looks like vent windows from a hardtop.



you can see the difference next to this falcon sedan delivery

sedan, hard top would be nice, but as i said before i haven´t seen any 65 2 door comets in my country... i mean there are some, but from other years. the other option was a falcon sprint, but the models available were already restored.
