T-Tops
Is it possible to convert a hard top to a t-top. If so, how hard is it to do?

Search the archives on this one. The question has been asked about 100 times. To answer your question, anything is possible, but for the amount of money time and skill it would take to do it right, you could have just bought a car w/ factory t-tops. GM had to do a lot a re-enforcement to the bodies to keep them from caving in, which you would have to do too, and it probably still would not be as strong as it was from the factory.

Besides what he said above, look at all of the problems that people have with their t-tops, I can speak from experience. They're nice in the summer, but when it rains they can be a bitch. I've actually been talking to a lot of people that are asking about converting their t-tops over to hardtops... Must be a grass is greener on the other side thing...
