Convert 1962 Hawk into 1956 Sky Hawk look-alike--feasible?

Hi

"But, the amount of fabrication would be huge: roof mods, all glass except windshield, SS trim, etc."

Before you write-off transplanting a '58 J-Body hardtop to a '62 GT Hawk, a dimensional analysis of the affected areas of the body is in order first. You may yet find it is more readily doable without massive difficulty or expense.

Good point. My brother has 2 '58 J-body Studes: a loaded President with a title, but too much rust; and a Commander with no title, but a good body. I'll take measurements the next time I'm at his garage.
