It has been done

TribalGTA has done it, do a search and you will find that many others are in the process....


It involves quite a bit of fabrication, the majority of it being to make the top, rather then modifying the car to accept it since it already have the structures there to hold onto a glass/firberglass top.......

Don't you have to reinforce the body so it doesn't flex?

I'd definitely suggest welding in good SFCs before cutting out the T-bar...
