Gonna do the T-Top conversion.

Well I'm gonna do the T-Top conversion. Now I know that I need all of this stuff:

-t-tops ( <-- Ebay)
-weatherstripping
-t-top brackets
-windshield trim piece
-center bar for t-tops
-front and read t-top A pillars
-weatherstripping channel, for the front part
-t-top headliner

But were do I buy it? The only thing I have found on Ebay are the T-Tops... Can you guys give me some links!?!?

I actually think i saw someone selling a package deal on ls1tech.com a while back... otherwise you can find most of that stuff in a scrap yard..

Check classifieds sections of sites like ls1tech and fullthrottlev6 for people parting out cars... good luck

i bought the ttops at a junk yard for $100 for both, the headliner i paid $20 for at the same junk yard....i bought the t bar, weatherstripping, a pillars and windshield trim, mounting brackets in a package off of ebay, around $125 i'm thinking....the rest of the little stuff from walmart

all i can say is... have fun!!

it is fun, i'd do it again

Well if you live around Chicago I wouldn't mind a helping hand! :)

Well if you get lucky (like I did) you might be able to find someone here on the forums or possibly even another furm who totaled their car and are parting it out, then maybe they can hook you up with all the parts you need for a helluva deal. Thats what our good ol friend philly here did for me. I'm eventually going to do the conversion now that I got everything I need, but I'm just in a bind with money right now, and havent had the time to get around to it. But good luck to ya man.

come to north east kentucky and i'll help. it'd be great to get to cut someone else's car up!

I have been thinking about adding t-tops to my list of things I need to do to my car. Doesn't look outrageously difficult, but I just need to figure out how much its gonna cost me and how long its gonna keep my car out of commission. Hope you get a hold of all the stuff you need and that the project goes smoothly!

not in the 83 camaro is it? thats a totally different project, and one i would not attempt

complete conversion kit $350

Yeah I was planning on installing them in the 83, figured they would be nice to have during the summer. Is there some kind of issue with the t-tops on the third gen camaros, or just the installation itself that is a problem? Like I said, its just something I've thought about, I haven't really looked into it seriously or anything...

it's the installation itself. 4th generation camaro's (93+) have the ttop supports and mounting brackets and such built in whereas the older camaro's do not. with my 4th gen, all you really had to do was cut the fiberglass roof off and you see everything there, after cutting out some spot welds at the corners you will see the mounting brackets, really cut and dry. the older gens were made either ttop or coupe, not like they were in the 4th gen.

there is a company out west, i've accidently found a year or so ago online that i cannot find the past few times i've looked, but they will do the conversion for you by cutting off the top of a ttop equipped car and cutting the top off your car and the cost ranges from $3500-7,000....if you have any more questions i'll try to help

yea, if you try it on a 3rd gen its possible that the cars gonna fold in half lol, or so I've heard

Thanks for the info guys, I didn't realize that there was a structural difference between the coupe and t-top models... I can see how that would make it a lot more difficult. Guess I won't be looking much further into that idea, if I had $3500-$7000 I would be spending it on a new engine or a decent paint job. The t-tops would only be fun in the summer anyway, I can enjoy a new engine all year!

yep i agree, sorry to ruin that idea lol...i've never seen a 3rd gen converted to ttops without cutting the top off and swapping it with another top

ive seen pretty clean installs of sun roofs in third gens...not that I like the idea but if thats what your looking for then there ya go.

Meh I like sunroofs but I don't think I would want one in my car, it would just look wrong.
