T-Top conversion write up

[Charlie_Boy7]

A few years ago I remember seeing a very detailed one with a parts list, tool list, pics with arrows and circles ect, and clearly worded captions. I THINK it was a black Camaro but I can't recall. Anybody know of one that would be comparable? I've seen a couple recently but they weren't as clear as I would've hoped.

Don't the T-Top cars have a center brace that would be nearly impossible to retrofit? I don't think it's as easy as chopping holes in your roof.

Just pour some water on your seats after every rain and you will get the same experience.

Why would you ruin a hardtop f-body? That's a shame......

I see that this is not a popular procedure lol. This is why I always ask.

Sucks that bad huh? Maybe I can trade somebody for a t-top firebird

I've had a few friends with t top cars and they all leaked at one point.

My car dumps like a few ounces of fresh car wash soapy water on my left thigh every time I go through the delta sonic car wash

Kept a cup in the trunk of my 86 for that very reason^

All the 4th gen f-bodies actually start off as t-top cars as they rolled down the assembly line the hard top cars were converted by getting a couple braces welded in and the hard top glued on if it stayed a t-top car the mounts would get spot welded in instead of the brace. So the center brace and pilot holes for all the t-top parts are all there on a hard top car. Only pain in the ass part is the mounts that hold the tops in place will not be present when you cut off the brace so you'll have to fab those up.
