Will pay for t-top conversion I am currently in San Francisco, and would like to convert my hardtop into a t-top. I am willing to drive two or three hours to get this done. I can buy all the parts myself, and just need someone to do the cutting, fitting, etc for me. I am willing to pay $250 for someone who can do this for me.
Please let me know, ESPECIALLY if you have done it before.

i'll be dammed..... kinda cool.
Still going to be way more than 250 for quality work. A body shop will charge between 85 and 100 per hour.... i'm guessing about 750-1000 at a body shop.

its gonna be around $500 if you do it yourself and get good deals in the F/S section.
body shop WITH you supplying parts will be $700 i already checked into this.
body shop with them getting the parts (new t top is $475) will vary between $800 and $1200

Hmmm, I guess I underestimated the cost a little bit. Well, I'm currently in search of the hardware, and am looking for a capable person to do the actual work.
I'll offer $400 to someone who has done it before, and I will provide a lot of help.
