Unfortunately, it is too big for Santa to bring down the chimney.

You might try buying a new repo door from United Pacific. They reproduce the whole body.

Glad to hear that as I'm about to try and make their coupe/roadster rears fit my 2 door sedan. It appears that only cutting away metal and drilling some holes all in the fender will be needed.

There is a reinforcement strip spot welded on the underside of the inner edge of an original '32 sedan fender along where the attachment holes are located.

Subject drift…
Granted UP makes decent stuff.
Why would they make a whole 5 window and not the 3 window? Doubt there’s much demand for ancillary parts to an original 5. I know there’s a door already need on this post!
Seems appeal would be rodders who likely much prefer the 3 window.
Just a ponder.

Brookville makes a complete three window. Don't need 2 manufactures.

I have an old car buddy here in Ohio that bought a very nice 3 window coupe about 15 years ago in Columbus Ohio. Well it was nice except many years ago someone started to either chop or make a roadster out of it but luckily they never got to the doors and this otherwise mint car was in good dry storage for years. He actually had to buy complete new quarters from Brookville to get the missing roof parts but they did the welding in and fabrication. It turned out beautifull. This guy is so lucky years ago mayby twenty or so he bought an old T bucket project and in the parts that came with it that he did not compltely invetory were a set of NOS Kinmont brakes which are now on the 3 window.
