Is this a feasible job? My 68 New Yorker hardtop doors are rusty and I have access to 68 Newport sedan doors that are decent. Basically speaking, would there be more to it than just removing the window frames and swapping hardware with the hardtop doors?
Or would that be way harder than just repairing the rust? I know, you'd need to see the rust to make a judgement, and I can snap some pictures next opportunity. But for now I'll just say that they are rusted out mainly at the lower trailing corner of the doors where I'd have to form some really awkward shaped patches if I wanted it to look anything like the original door.
And actually, regardless of what door I use, I may decide to remove the internals so that I can clean out all the rust and coat the interior.
