Removable hardtops? This may sound like a dumb question, but has anyone ever seen a removable hardtop for a conv. camaro? Or does anyone think its possible to fabricate? It might just be me, but personnaly i would buy one or pay for fabrication. Best of both worlds. I know it would potentially be at least 100+lbs added weight depending on materials but does anyone share my opinion or know where to go for one?
it wont be as rigid as a hard top in any means...and yea it'll add weight, but i understand what you're saying...it's probably possible...but to be honest i don't know if maybe people will be interest...definately be unique as heck though! plus the fact that i could just be completely wrong lol
there used to be one on that site "4th gen fbody appearance guide" or whatever its called but the problem was its just a kid who posted a bunch of pictures and he didnt know where any of them came from so its utterly useless. If i knew how, id make one just becuase thats cool
would be interesting. could look really good i think. certainly would be different and eye catching that would be some serious fabrication work tho, and i doubt that somebody is goin to want to pay big bucks to have a one off made.

I know they make them for C5's and C6's...fbody might be a different story. Looks better than the regular top IMO because I absolutely despise verts.
