A few places will make your Z into a 'vert if you have the cash - it's not cheap to do it right.

I found it.
*edit. removed E-bay link*
It says "custom hand constructed", so I would take that to mean a company outside of GM.
He's kind of misleading in the ad if it is in fact an aftermarket job...

One might say why convert..I would say why not if thats what you want...You can always reverse the procedure and have a fixed roof again. Hence user name Z06CONVSC.
