From Vert to Fixed roof....
I know there are a couple guys who have done this but the search didnt bring back any threads that shows what went into it? I know there are Smoothline and Caravaggio roofs but what I'm looking at is actually taking a Z06 OEM roof and putting it on my vert and making it a full time hard top. Any threads that can give me more detail other then the finished look??? Thanks guys.

I converted from a coupe to a fixed roof.
The abridge version of what needs to be done.
Biggest changes would be the upper tub piece and the welding in of upper halo(metal) at "B" pillar.
Inside change over of rear interior items like rear speaker mounts and interior trim panels and carpet.

The last 2 years my car has transformed to pretty much a track dedicated car.. see my sig to see whats already in it, much easier to just add a hard top. The vert the a Z06 have the same bodyline already so much easier to do then starting with a coupe.
