Is it possible to still source (asc?) kits to convert a hard top to a convertible?

 

I thought all the ASC cars started out as T-top cars for the stiffer body, but as my wife will tell you, I'm probably wrong.

 

LOL FUNNY

 

I have the same type of saying about the wife

I can do it her way, or I can argue with her about it and then do it her way.

 

Yes, I've also read all convertibles came from T-Tops.

Does anyone know what extra strengthening T-Tops actually have?

The Convertibles seem to have been produced in a very structured and consistent way, which makes me think there must have been a "kit" with standard parts and engineering drawings.

If this is so, it would mean if you were restoring a T-Top it would be possible to chop the top at the same time.

 

I read some were asc sold their stock long time ago ......

 

The kits must have ended up somewhere.

Anyone have any Part Number?

 

buy a totaled vert like I did. and start with a T-TOP car. if you can cut and weld. You can do it. search for targa to vert. Im sure ive posted tons of pic's in the past.

 

ASC "kits" for 3gen's, if there were any to be had, are now long since a thing of the past. As mentioned above, a salvage car with some decent intact parts might be your best bet to start off with. Just be prepared to spend WAY more $$$ than just buying a minty 3rd gen vert. Plus that's money you'll never get back on resale. Plus there's all your time.
However, it has been done before.
Good luck.
