Kids -

Not sure if you all know about this out there, but I just found an SVT registry on the web (http://myroadtrip.net/svt/index.html) and it has some fattie 94-95 cars (a few).

It got me to thinking though... Does anyone know:
1) if it is possible to get a removable hardtop anymore (I doubt it)?
2) What were they made of (steel I assume)?
3) Are there any aftermarket variations out there?
4) Would it be possible (as in do-able) to cut off the top of a regular-a$$ coupe and use it has a hardtop? I love junkyards.

My root cause for the thread is shedding lbs. I don't really like the look of the convert top, like the coupe look better, but like having a vert for nice summer days.

Thanks all!

They do make aftermarket fiberglass roofs. Look in the back pages of 5.0 magazine.

if you are looking to shed lbs then a hardtop is not a good choice. you are looking at adding about 150-200lbs to the very top of your car.

fwiw i keep my hardtop in storage now cuz the car does so much better without it. if you want a coupe body line then get a coupe--less total weight and more rigidity. if you like the top down fun then get used to the weight.

The hardtops you can buy nowadays are ugly as sin. They dont even have the trademark monstrously huge back glass.

The only one I found is from a company called smoothline (website is something like that).
But the smoothline ones look like a hack job and something you would find on a Civic or a Probe as a hack-a$$ body kit, so I am stuck with the vert.
