I could use the top and the outboard metal pieces. We can use them to make a T-Top car a HT car for road racing purposes.

Cut it off along the seam and carefully remove it. I would give you $25 for it to help offset the coast of the conversion.

I also have the center section I would throw in on the deal.

Yep, I do them. I've done six total. All info is here

Let me know what you think. Also, what kind of time frame are you looking at? The colder it is, the less I want to work with my hands....too many scraped knuckles.....

I'm impressed. I don't post on either much. More of a lurker.

BTW--I charged $350 4 years ago, my time is worth $50 more now....
