Replacing roof b/c it has aftermarket t-tops...

Has anyone ever cut off their roof to replace it? My newly acquired '83 Z28 has the aftermarket t-tops, and one is missing! I plan on putting the roof off of one of my hardtop parts cars onto my Z. How hard would this be? Would it be worth it? Is it a good idea? Also, if I don't plan on cutting the roof, can someone send the link for the aftermarket t-top weather stripping kit, I remember it being on here before? Thanks for your help!

Mark cuts off roofs all the time to make hardtop cars into factory looking originals. Here is the site. He does an excellent job.

Hope it helps. I have a C&C tee top also and have no problems with it.
