      Make it a 2 Door or Keep it 4?

      my brother is considering making his 4 door Impala wagon into a two door.

      What's your choice?

      I would go 2 door. To make it look right you would need to stretch the doors or use the longer door from a 2 door car. I have thought of doing the same thing with my 67 wagon, but the side glass is a major stumbling block.

      yeah the front doors would be stretched and the post moved accordingly..

      All the glass has to be custom made

      If that's it in the first pick then 2 door, but reverse the hinges to make them suicide.

      Awe come on guys build it as a 4 door and also I saw one donr(not same year but 4dr wagon) and the guy did it as 4 Lambo doors AND suicided the rears.
      It would look very cool if you got the opening right on the rears.
      and another idea is do it like the old Lincolns, just suicide the rears.

      I don't care for Lambo doors, but to be different I'd Lambo the tail gate.

      If he has the skill, and the cash, 2 door.
      The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

      Lambo doors are gay... leave it a four door, dith the B pillar and make the rear a suicide door... like the early lincolns. That would be bitchin.

      my friend is doin one for a customer (making it 2 door)..if i remember right I think he was adding doors off a 2 door impala and removing the C pillar and making all new 1 peice glass for the quarters. I will see if i can get some pics.

      but I like 4 door wagons myself.
