good job guys. That t-top conversion looks like it went well. At first i was like WTF, they are converting a hard top SS into a t-top??? but then i saw it was a LT1 with 98 front end and it was a few different colors.
when can we get my car in to install the motor mounts? I plan to re-emerge at LA invasion.

No the one I saw was a repaint that was in a salvage pool, very similar to that color but maybe a little more turqouis. Either way why would anyone paint any car that color let alone any f body

Nice job! How long did it take?
I still need to get the body work done from the t-top conversion I had done. Can any reputable body shop handle the body work involved to make it look close to factory? We never got the metal under the sailpanel cut far back enough to make the weatherstripping to sit better. Im trying to guesstimate how much it will cost to get the body work done. What do you think 6LE average?

For the finishing work (just body filling the metal, smoothing and painting) you're looking at $200-$400 depending on where you go...
Please DON'T give me credit for the video
I was surprised, but appreciative, of all the "good jobs"...Normally with a dremel and wheels that break it is a 10 hour job, this took about 4-5 hours with the grinder and taking our time...
