Re: [AMC-list] Kammback/Gremlin vs. Spirit and Eagle door andwindow??

Typically the welds are already cracked or about to anyway. Cross fitting the doors is most likely not that big of a deal. 
   The 60's just bolt in. I guess they went to welds why?  With the bolted frames you rarely see cracking issues. Another case of fixing something that ain't broke.

Not at all! The doors will actually fit -- the window frames are a 
separate piece from the rest of the door. They did have to alter the 
glass, but the door itself just has the frame pushed down a bit in the 
back (or did thy use a different frame?). In any case, it's just a minor 
alteration to the door. The frame can be broken loose at the welds and 
repositioned or swapped. I know, easier said than done, but I do know a 
few have done it.

AFAIK the Spirit/SX4 doors are slightly (.5"?) shorter at the back 
compared to 2

door Gremlin/Hornet/Concord doors. Just enough that they won't work. 
Seems a bit

contrary to AMCs usual parts swapability.
