In my most recent quest to find new doors for my corvair, I have found that they are not going to be as easy as originally planned. About 2 months ago, my place of work just received a transfer from another facility. We work together mostly and I found out right off the bat that his first car was a 1966 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. He then proceeded to tell me that his father still had a door that would fit a ’65-66. About a week ago I finally got him to bring me that door so that I could test fit it to my car. The door was in excellent condition with just a little bit of surface rust. That could be sanded easily and the window was still in tact.
Well, I finally got to fit the door. I was going to sand it before I put it on so I just eye-balled the door hinge to see if it would fit. Unfortunately the door hinge has a different bolt pattern than my door. I don’t think it will fit but I will still see if there is some way that it can be attached. It is just too nice of a door to let got.
I have called and emailed a few junk yards about a passenger side door and I received one from Oklahoma. The guy said that he has a clean door for $185. I am going to email him back and see if he can send me some pictures.
The saga continues in search of new doors for my CORVIEKE!
