Default Hard top to T-Top

Hey guys just joined and I'm wondering if anyone in the south carolina area can help me make my 00 hard top into a t-top with the help of a donor car.
I don't know anything about body work and everyone tells me to get someone who knows what they are doing. Please let me know if anyone can help me.
Thanks

if your car is a "highway patrol car" like you say, it's probably a B4C package car. i don't know if i'd cut up one of those for a t-top conversion as they are pretty rare. i love t-tops don't get me wrong, but thats why i bought my car with them in the first place.

Yeah it is a B4C but I love T-Tops...the 02 donor is to far gone without being really expensive to fix...but if i can't find anyone who's pretty good at body work I probably will just leave it alone
