Trying to finish up my top frame/doors so I can get a top. I have 3 driver doors that I think are 3a and one passenger that is the correct early style. Not having a matching set of doors and lacking the door handles on the frames what would be my best option?

I've thought about it some, are the 3a door frame's measurements basically the same as the late 2a door?
I'm thinking I could change the top hinge and use these, and making the pass side would be simple matter of inverting the bottom bend and flipping the door handle. Other thing I could do is make another early frame and cut the handles off the doors to put them on the surround frame. Edited by 48willys - 14 Feb. 2018 at 12:05pm |

Looks like it would be easier to convert one of your cj3a frames to a cj2a. You have some nice frames to work with.
