Try a search.

From what I've read it's not too hard because all Camaro's have the roof for a T-Top. But in 93 there is no T-Top option, so I'm not sure if it's different.

Like I'll say in all my posts though, I could be wrong.

Yes, it can be done on all 4th gen F-Bodies fairly easily. 93 was the only year without a convertible, it DID come with T-Tops. Do a search, the topic has been covered extensively.

Parts needed:

2 – T-Tops
2 – A pillars (2 screws each)
2 – Rear corner pieces (2 screws each)
2 – Pieces of weather-stripping for both sides
1 – T-bar that sits on roof (8 screws)
2 – Holders for tops in trunk (2 screws each)
4 – Brackets to lock t-tops on roof (1 nut/bolt each)
1 – Headliner for t-top cars
2 – T-top shades (optional)
1 – Key to the locks on the t-tops
1 – Windshield weather-stripping (optional)
1 – Small can of paint to match your car (optional)

Look up the member red blur, he's done the conversion MANY times and can give many helpful tips.

In 1993, there were 3,340 Camaros equipped with T-tops (RPO "CC1"), at a price of $895.

Whoops. I got Convertible and T-Top mixed up in my little head. Sorry about that.

Anyone know if there would be any structural concerns about chopping the roof?

If you're just putting the T-Tops in, there is no real concern. If you take off the headliner and the plastic A-Pillars you'll see how GM just put in two side beams and tacked them in place to form the hardtop.

I feel so popular. You can look at my website if you want to see a little of my work. I'd be happy to answer any questions, or for $400 I'll do it to yours. Summer is coming. I currently have two sets of t-top conversion kits laying around, one is spoken for. let me know what you want/need. herronz28@gmail.com is the best way to get a hold of me!
