I agree that any rag top is worth saving, but if you don't have the finances i can understand not wanting to keep it, however its just a door, should'nt be to difficult to replace it. I disagree with you Bob, your friend was trying to keep an original 36 alive, istead of going for the easy out and getting a repo glass body. I got to give him credit for that. His investment should pay off as he has an original. I could see him going glass if that was his only option being availability or finances, but that did'nt seem to be the issue. I would'nt call him an idiot........dedicated "Car Crazy" as Barry MaGuire would say.
