Default 1988 coupe to convertible conversion

I have the opportunity to buy a 1988 coupe in great condition and would like to hire a custom shop to turn it to a convertible. Can anyone refer a shop on the NY metro area (LI preferred) Thanks

It'll cost you more to convert to....'vert than buying one in good condition..... Buy the notch & maybe "turn it' for the extra cash to buy what you want IMHO....

just get and keep the notch, if its a 4 banger, drop a 5.0 in it, and rock the awesomeness.
