can anyone give me some pointers on how to convert my t tops into a convertible hard top like the orange toyota supra car in the fast and the furious.
Thanks.

is this a trick question? you must have a late second gen camaro or a 3-4th gen camaro. i think it would be cheaper to just buy a convertable camaro instead of making one into a vert.

sounds like he's trying to do a "targa" roof, not a convertible. Basically cut out the center bar between the t-tops, and make a single removable panel that replaces both t-tops.

Reinforcement is still needed or the windshield may fall into your lap.

On 3rd t-top cars & all 4th gen (dunno about 2nd), the windshield frame is already reinforced--you just need to brace the floor like the did on 'verts.
