Re: IML: ?1960 2DR'S LEFT

Interesting that you mentioned the roofline. I never realized there was a 
difference between the 2 & 4 door roofline until I purchased a 4 door. I 
then discovered that the rear glass is larger also on the 2 door & requires 
a different set of trim.

Probably true that two door hardtops have been used as parts donors for 
convertibles.  Saving the cvt chassis and the cross bar at the top of the 
windshield and the section where the top drops is all you need if you have a 
real rust bucket.  Then drop a rust free solid hardtop onto the chassis, cut 
off the metal top, weld in the windshield header from the cvt and the cvt 
tub and, voila, a solid ready to restore cvt requiring lots less bodywork. 
that's radical surgery but probably parts of coupes have gone to make solid 
cvts. as well.  Too bad, as the roof line on the two door coupes is 
beautiful.  They look like they're in motion or at least poised and ready to 
take off.

The radical surgery has been done more than once, I'm sure.

 Subject: IML: HOW MANY 1960 2DR'S LEFT


 Since buying my 60 2dr coupe I've kinda took a mental note of 2dr coupe's 
as I learn of them, and have only counted about  twelve or thirteen. I've 
always wondered how many are left ?  another thing I've noticed is that 
while there were far fewer convertibles built, there seems to be more of 
them left. My theory is that convertibles were far more  likely to be saved 
than coupes ,and while on the subject the convertible on ebay looks to have 
great potential if everyting I own was'nt a project already I'd surely be a 
bidding

 everything I got either came from a junkyard or belongs in one.
