Default 70 chevelle 4 door

I personally own a 1970 chevelle 4 door with no post and I was interested in finding out if you can turn this car into a 2 door.

A 4 door Sport Sedan is a desirable car for many. The 4 door has a different roofline and is longer than a 2 door. You might want to sell the 4 door and look for a 2 door, would probably be cheaper and easier.

Yep, the 4 doors have different frames (longer wheel base, I believe by 4 inches) than the 2 doors. That alone is a big effort to change.

A good 4 door is a great vehicle.

I would agree you would be better off in the long run of selling and doing a 2dr.

Among others like the angle of the windshield and rear window. Floor pan and rockers are longer as well.

If were going that route. Then i would go all the way and turn it into a two door convertible. It can be done but wow a lot of work.

Buy a 71 or 72 hull two door use your guts and front clip and call it done
Unless the car has a great deal of sentimental value to it?
