Default make it a T

does anyone know how to turn a hard top into a t-top and how much it would cost to get it done.

Its possible but youd need a complete roof from a scrap yard, the T-top has extra bracing in the middle in the event of a rollover. If you just cut out the slots for the T-tops, youll compromise the structural integrity of the roof, and if you do roll over itll crush like a pop can.

That, plus these are unibody cars, no frame, better look at some subframes to be safe.

Plenty of unibody cars have T-tops. You will need some extra bracing in the roof to replace what you cut out...like the factory did. Or install the convertible bracing (not used in the newer Stangs due to the strength of the chassis).

Your talking about a Fox body Stang right? There used to be companies that made T-top conversions but, probably none anymore...

If you're lucky to find a T-Top Foxbody at a wreakers you can graft the whole upper top to your car. It's gonna $$$ cost you
