That's a cool project. I've always liked the 80-82 vert conversions. :yesnod:

Ouch!! That hurts seeing all that cutaway fiberglass. And I own one of those conversions. :cheers:
How are you going to work the upper edge of the windshield for the vert top? I hear there is a vert plate that will replace the hardtop version.

Man, that just proves how fragile these cars are. Now I feel like I'm wrapped in a blanket going 125 mph.

WOW! And here I thought you were just going to buy the rear parts from ACI. Instead you are making your own??? I give you a lot of credit. If I lived closer, I would be at your place all the time. What a GREAT project!
BEST OF LUCK!
