good luck.. All of the frame parts for the top are discontinued by GM and are not available.. If you do find a source please post.

I bought a complete parts index from somone on ebay a while back and it does list every part number..

Good luck,
Troy

Macomb Auto Salvage in Warren, MI has a stolen stripped convertible IROC, I don't know how much is left of the top (the whole interior is gone) but you can try calling them for parts and pieces.
The number is 810-778-6530.

Buy a total, and strip it, or get one with a goner engine and do a swap.

Try thirdgen resource or gm sports salvage to see if they have what you need.

There's a lot of cutting, fabricating and reinforcing needed to make it come out in one piece, although if it was done once, it can be done again.

The path of least resisitance: buy one that's already that way.

If you are gonna get parts, you need to stick with 92 parts for the top. I believe in 90 they switched styles and put a liner in the 90-92 tops. They are a lot nicer than the 89 and before tops. I have both and speak from experience. Also in 92 they added some helper springs to make moving the top easier. Also in 92 the rear seat shoulder belts moved from the tonneau cover to the floor pan over the gas tank. Do a search on the subject, someone found a source for weather stripping at reasonable cost for our cars. Later
