t-top help

i need some info on t-tops. is it possible to replace the sheetmetal that the weatherstripping lays on, like the whole inner lip. or should i just get a bodyshop to fix it?

I believe the bottom lip is attached to the entire roof as one peice. But, you could probably find a reputable body shop that can replace the part you want fixed. I'm sure it will be pricey though, good luck. What's wrong with your current one BTW?

Just keep in mind having a project is fun and everything, but very very time and money consuming. If you have one project that's already started(or possibly not yet) then why would you want to get started on another project? Replacing a bad T-top roof isn't easy, and it definately isn't cheap. If I remember right your the one that posted about the Camaro and what all it had wrong with it that you could see. It just sounds like theres way too much work that needs to go into that car before it's even suitable for everyday use. Don't get yourself into something like that especially if you've already got one project going. You'll end up getting overwhelmed and possibly losing money if you have to sell one. You can find a car that's a lot more structurally sound to turn into a project, then your not fixing several things just to get the car up to shape. You'll be starting with an already pretty good foundation and building off that. That's the only way to go in my opinion. Good luck though.
