I've seen some youtube videos, as well as sites going through how to do it.
Out of sheer luck, each LS1 camaro I've bought is a hardtop. Everytime I've wanted t-tops but who's going to turn down a good deal on a car just for t-tops.
I don't think I would screw up the conversion, but like a lot of people have said before, just the fact that I would be cutting into the roof makes me doubt myself 100%.
After seeing that craigslist ad where the guy is selling everything for the swap aside from t-tops themselves, I just can't stop thinking about just getting it over with.
It's the fact that hardtops are supposed to be more rare that stops me from doing it as well. But I'm trying not to care since the car wont ever be sold, realistically at least.
So is there any shop or anything in southern california that's done to conversion before that can chime in with a price on getting it done.

We've done a bunch of them. You supply the parts (I can help you get the stuff you need, tell you what to get, etc...) and we bring it to 99% completion (we do the fab work, you would need a body/paint shop to spray and finish it).
You drop it off and come back, $500. You hang out and lend a hand $400.

You'd get all the parts on ebay, junkyard, etc...
T-tops
T-top weatherstripping
Brackets (all four corners, window trim areas and the center bar)
A-Pillars (and rear interior pieces)
T-Top holders

This is to t-top it but our one piece tops can be used on cars that are t-topped (no need to cut the bar out unless you want to).
