Hornet Sportabout questions



I have this 73 Sportabout, nice solid rust free, well
about as rust free as you can expect for Oregon. I am
using my 72 Sportabout as parts (I still have parts
available) and supplimenting all the go-fast stuff
from my Gremlin X.
I have the rear end done, with a posi sittin there
with all poly bushings and a Maverick sway bar. I have
an Ambo rear being custom made for it to run four
links, using the stock bungs.
The front end is being rebuilt now (man it was in sad
shape) and I have a fat sway bar, quick ratio AMX
steering abd 11 inch discs, adjustable shocks, etc. I
seem to remember a post about some bushings for the
shock bottom, you know the big ol bushing that rotates
the shock. I can't remember the name of that
suspension piece. Anyone recall a part number and was
it poly or not.
I cut down some sway bar bushings to make those funny
little front shock pads. It took two sets of bushings,
as both shocks needed 8 total. A small Dremel akde
quick work of those bushings. 
My big project for this car is to put Gremlin doors
and B pillar on it, then fill in the cavity, making it
esentially a 2-dr wagon. I measured th doors and I
will gain about 5 inches and it looks like the door
openings stay the same just past this point. The 4-dr
B pillar looks to come unwelded and the Gremmie will
fit in there OK. Seems a pretty straight foreward
project, right?
anyone tried this and how did it work out. I have seen
4-dr wagons with the back door welded and filled in,
but I want the big door to make entry easier
