And if that's your philosophy no one would ever do anything to their cars themselves...

Honestly, a t-top conversion is less risk and much easier than a cam install, heads, hell it's even easier than putting LT's on your car

I love my hardtop, I dont know why though. Whenever I see a T-Top car it makes me want them. If I had the money just laying around to have it done I probably would get it done.

well dude you can read this debate until it gets to 500000 pages and the bottom line will be if you have the ***** to hack off your roof or not, if you dont then leave yours a hardtop, if you are gutsy and want to give it a try then go get your self a dremel and some cutting wheels and go to work.

All You Naysayers Must Be Unconfident Of Your Own Skills. I Did It In 6 Hrs With A Dremel, Sawzall, And Some Rtv. In My Garage, No Problems Whatsoever. Go For It Man. I've Had A Ttop T/a, A Htop Camaro, And Now My 93 Ta, That Was A Htop. I Couldn't Stand It, So I Found A Donor Car And Hacked Mine, I'll Never Look Back, By Far One Of The Easiest Mods I've Ever Done.

yah thats the guy i talked to. He told me all about it and what it takes to do it while we were at a car show. His screen name on here is herronz28 though. Thanks for all the input guys!

One thing i was wondering is how OEM does it look around the weatherstripping and such? Does it look good or can you tell it was hacked up?
