Default T top conversion... any tips?

Okay, so I am planning a T-top conversion within the coming month and was wondering if anyone had any tips.
I was gonna use Grip's conversion guide, anyone have any other/better guides for me to compare them with.

I would just say TAKE YOUR TIME! Who cares how quick someone else finished it. Work at a pace your comfortable at and make sure you quadruple check everything.

I wouldn't get into that bag of chips.. t-tops are great and all ..but, don't potentially mess it up...

"it's like when a friend asks you to punch him in the face...yes, its fun.. but things might not be the same after.."

but i wish you the best man..

Thanks, but I'm in texas... and I got everything from a junkyard, except the weatherstripping.

when using any cutting tools wear a full face shield, i was making the last cut on my ttop conversion when a disk blew up, needless to say a ttop conversion cost me over 10gs and a wicked scar like the joker on the left side of my face. besides that take your time, measure twice cut once good luck
