We thought of converting the 4 door . The worst on his car is the frame is bent from a wreck years back. The fire wall is good we are using this firewall for a pattern to put the AC in a Demon. He wants his car. He has it a long time.
I do what the customer wants. My son would have left it a 4 door. His thought was more money to be made on weekends. I have to many cars here and coming in. So once a decision is made I don't Divert.
We are doing a fresh big block for the Valiant . He saw the Demon that just left and wanted his car done the same way. We drop them out the bottom and restore everything under the hood. After that the rest of the car is a different job. The floors in Daves valiant will be new. You cannot buy front rails that was the reason for buying the 4 door.
My son and I were talking last night. We are going to make a body fixture for 108 wheel base a-bodies. We have one already It will just take some new attachments for the car. We have two nice shells here to mock one up. This will make it so much easier to cut these cars up and weld them back together.
Our freind does the troyer modifies. When they get hit he puts the frame on the jig and cuts off what don't fit then adds the new parts using the various mounts that fit the fixture. we just used this to build this trailer and it worked great. Nothing moved during the welding process .
