Anybody have a 3d Model/scan?

I need to get a 3d Model of the whole Vert top area, not the top itself.

I don't really want to mess with making it myself if it's already done.
I suppose I also need a 3D scan of the OEM hardtop and glass too which might be more important.

Planning to 3D model a Hardtop if that isn't obvious. Was planning on building it out of Wood and fiberglass, but I think 3d Printing it could be interesting. Stitched together and fiberglassed. Might end up a combination of print/wood/fiberglass.

I never wanted a vert. I wanted T Tops. Hardtop convertible is the next best thing.

Been thinking about this for about 6 years and have a bunch of extra vert components and know how I'm able to attach it "easily."

Interesting project! I think you'll probably end up using the combination of materials method to get your prototype, as it will be the faster way. You can always refine it later on.
Keep us posted on the progress.

If you don't want a vert, why not buy a T-Top car.
Wouldn't THAT be the best thing. No need to settle for "next best"

show me a 91/92 formula 5 speed t top for sale and I’d probably buy it.

I may also consider a 90 Trans am 5 speed t top.
