1964 Dart 270 Suicide Door Conversion Input
I’ve got a 1964 Dodge Dart 270 that needs new paint. It’s a gorgeous deep metallic maroon color (not factory) with maroon and gray interior. Absolutely love the color, and want to get it sprayed in the same color when I get bodywork and painting done.
However, whenever it was previously painted, they shaved off the rear door handles, flawlessly I might add, leaving only the interior handles. Well, with it in mind that it’s already had the body work done to remove the rear handles, I’m considering converting them to suicide doors. They’d be the same handles as would have been on there, keeping the factory appearance, just swapped so that it mirrors the front doors.
I’d never do this to a car that was stock or close to stock, but the interior’s been redone, the whole car repainted a non-factory color, etc, and I think it’d be nice to give this car its own unique feature.
What do y’all think? I’d like input from other people who care about these cars.
