Default t top conversion

Does any one do them in here ? I have a hard top v6 . I don't have any parts for the conversion. I was thinking about doing it my self but I don't have the nuts to cut my roof off .

For a small fee I would be more than happy to transport your car to and from.

I just happened to come across that thread earlier, and then I saw your thread, so I thought it was perfect!

it has been done before, but would probably be easier/more cost effective to just buy a t-top car.

I dunno, if you take your time and find the parts when they are cheap then it wouldn't be too bad. I've got all the parts I need and paid around $250.00 for them all.

Man, I actually have everything for the t-top conversion. I just converted my car to a hard top. I have the t-tops, weatherstripping, weatherstripping rails, even have the a-pillar moldings but one has a hole where I ran the wires through for my gauges.

How hard was it to go to a hardtop? I want another T/A but hate T-tops, and would have to get a hardtop Formula and swap the body kits and spoiler to have the look I want.
