Putting t-tops in

I was just wondering if anyone has put t-tops in a car that did not come from the factory with them and if so how and what did you need to do it?

The easiest way would probably be to find a donor T-top car and swap the entire roof panel over to your car. You will also need SFC's so you don't bend the car in half.

Or if your not good at body work, find a solid t-top roller car, and swap everything on your car over to that one.

I would highly suggest against it. You would have to do lots of extra bracing to car to keep it from flexing once you cut the roof. If you want t-tops, sell your car and go buy one with t-tops cause its more work and risk than its worth.

For the time you would spend trying to do this its just easier to find another car. Time is money and why spend weeks trying to make everything right. Also if you work alot and don't have alot of free time on your hands I see this as one of the projects that never gets done. Now you have a hacked up car you can't get any kind of money for except as a parts car maybe. jmo
