I am sure that it is possible, anything is with determination, time, effort and of course cash.

But why would you want to? Probally cheaper to go covertable or install aftermarket T-Tops.

Ya just switching the whole roof was what in was gonna say. Any bodyshop that can do one of those choptop things should be able to do it real easy.

There's no good reason why it can't be done. People swap quarter panels all the time.

Just remember, ttop cars flex more than hard top
ttop seals are notorious for leaks
tops allow sun to liquify you interior causing them to expand and squeak
ttops are still a pain to use sometimes
