T-top fabrication?

I was hoping that there is some easy way to cut a factory hard top to make it in to t-tops. Anybody ever done this before or know where I could go to get it done?

Plenty of people have done this.

Try searching in the appearence forum - you'll find lots of threads about it.

Good Luck!

fairly easy

From what ive seen online, its a fairely easy conversion. I was parting out a 95 Z28 with a hardtop and I noticed if you look at the roof you can see where GM left perfect outlines for where to cut for t-tops. You may want to do a targa top conversion to be different. I believe someone under the name of "whistler" did this with a carbon fiber removeable panel. In any event good luck!
