I own a rusty 68 bonneville convertible. Rear quarters on both sides need lots of work. NOS quarters are like hens teeth and very expensive. Shipping alone is heavy duty. However, I have located a 4 dr bonneville with decent quarters for cheap.
How difficult would it be to cut and fit this junk together. I believe the wheel well openings would be identical, and I know the area directly in front of the wheel well would be different between 2 and 4 dr. How different is the area behind the wheel well? Anything is possible with enough time and money. I have limited amounts of both. Is it doable to use the 4 dr quarters, or should I continue to hold out for 2 dr quarters? Oh yeah, I need a good hood as well. Mine is rusted out near the cowl above the bottom reinforcing panel where the body mastic/tar all comes together. Anybody got one near Nashville, TN? |

A friend converted a '64 Lemans 4 door to a GTO convertible. You'd never know it was a 4 door. What's amazing, is that this was his first attempt at body work. Darn young kids--they don't know enough not to try!!
If that could be done, you certainly can use parts from the'68 4 door for your convert. |

I know the wheel wells would be the same but I am not sure that behind the wheel well would work. Measure it up once and see would be the only way. If the distance of the back section is the same then I would say go for it. Let me know what you find out.
