It's worth a mention that the glass frames themselves will detach from the
doors.    If need be, I think the sedan car doors (later vintage 1960
through 1964) will bolt up to a Lakewood although you will have to swap out
the glass and regulators and of course the glass frame/channels.   Nuts and
bolts mostly, except for one spot on the frame which is brazed.    


If I'm wrong, somebody correct me but I did check into this before, in case
I ever need a wagon door... and I did take an early coupe door and remove
the glass frame, glass,regulator etc and swap ragtop door parts etc and
made the coupe door work on a ragtop.    I would  think the same thing
would work on a wagon/sedan door adaptation if you can't find any wagon
doors.     


Now:  

If someone really wants some wagon parts, I know someone who has a couple
of parts wagons that may have useful doors.    ...just in case...  Larry,
e-mail me for info should the door situation not pan out.
