Default crazy question.....coupe to conv. transformation

This is an oddball question, but I thought I'd ask the group....has anyone heard of a company that will transform an '82 coupe to a convertible? I did a search, and didn't see any previous posts regarding this idea. Thanks....

There are shops out there that will do it for you but i don't think there is a specific company that just does the conversions
