Hold on!!! Hardtop already setup for t-tops????

My friend recently removed the headliner in his 93 Z28 Hardtop and noticed that the roof is setup for t-tops, only it's just not cut. I don't believe our cars are the same way but I just thought I'd ask. Personally, I'd still never trust it. That's why I have two cars so I can have both.

The 93 on up cars were designed as TTop cars. The hard top cars are TTop with sheet metal covering the TTop area. Prior to 93, I don't believe GM was designing the cars this way.

Yea, that's what I had thought. But I think that was a good idea by GM. Makes it much easier to put t-tops in a "hardtop" car.
