I built this as a roadster so it had no top. I lengthened the doors to a 2 door length using another set of front doors. I moved the B pillar jamb section back. I skinned the rear doors and cut it down to fit in the opening. Another budget build for me. I started with a $600 complete 4 door 55 body. I actually used the Salons 305 in it. I built an X center in the chassis to stop the body flex. I got the wheels from craigslist. I think they were 18s. I was building it in mock up and had planned on stripping back apart for paint. Our local car club scheduled a 200 mile cruise so I busted my *ss for a few months to get it in that cruise. Lots of people saying I'd never make it. It made it and never even had to open the hood. Sold it the next day to one of our clubs friends that gave me a crazy money offer. I took it. Lol
