i didnt read the whole ad, but it is possible to cut the top off given you do all the structural reinforcments required, or the car will probalby bow in the middle....

nothing new....go check out the ronster at mustangs plus. I think they even sell the entire kit now, complete with the NECESSARY reinforcement sheetmetal that will be required to keep your stang from pancaking when you hack the top off.

Did anyone read the part about this being "EASY"?? And why would any knotheat cut the top off a coupe on purpose?? If you want a vert, then sell your coupe and buy one, dont ever cut up a prefectly good body just for the sake of looking "cool".

yeah but if you have say a top that had a sun roof cut into it, or really bad rust under a vinal top then why not, if you didn't want to find a donor roof that is?? Mustangs plus has done a few of them, and they look okay I guess, if that's what you want.
