Re: [AMC-list] 77 AMX doors wanted & door interchange question

[Joe Fulton <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have corresponded with the owner of the 77 AMX and he said he had already swapped Gremlin doors in the car and they did not fit so Hollander is wrong in this case.  The body line does not line up at the top of the door.  I suggested that the owner drill out the spot welds and move the window frames down or use the window frames from his hornet AMX (and of course use that glass too).
