t top question here

hey here's an ebay auction going with most of what you'd need, Im not sure if its the entire kit, ask the seller i suppose, although I've seen 2 or 3 t-top conversion kits on ebay over the last couple weeks. so you can also keep checking ebay, they went for a little over $250.

that kit doesn't have the a-pillar trim though.

i got mine for $142.50 from a '99 camaro. the only thing it didn't come with was the weatherstripping and i got that for $10 a side from a '99. everything was purchased off of ebay. keep looking and do a lot of searching. the easier it is for you to find, the easier everyone else can find it.

I just did this conversion in Feb....don't go through the touchless car wash too see if they leak! It's not any fun, it sucks...it was cold out side and E V E R Y T H I N G got wet that was near the windows! Trust me it was a trip! I got everything sealed up though. It's taken me awhile to track down exactly where everything was leakin in from....but I still have sealing up to do. Makle sure your weather stripping channels are in the correct spot. If they are off any then they W I L L leak around the window. Be careful with your cuts, which pieces of metal your breaking off.

Some of the spots welds you can usually bust off of you grind them down a little. But take your time and visualize what its going to look like. If you need any help...email me MrCaddman7@aol.com

i did the conversion 9 months ago and have never had a problem with leaks yet, i can even bring it right through the car wash no problem.
one tip: angle your windows in a little bit this is the best way to seal up the sides; this should be the only problem area
i had a certified F-body collsion mechanic tell me to do this

camaros_4_lfe

well all my parts should be shipping today

ill prolly start it when i decide its time for the winter car and start on this right now im taking a 5.0 out of a lincoln and putting in in a 87 mustang and then selling that

that will be my money for this car

How did you angle the windows??? Mine is leaking a little around actually corner you have to construct...but nothing a little silicone cant fix. Thats what I am doing tonight. But how do you angle the window? Because its not a perfect seal aorund the window, but it doesnt leak in when it rains either. I still would like to angle them though. Please let me know!!! Thanks!
