The difficulty is going to be removing the roof from the Z06. It's not naturally detachable. I don't remember seeing a post here about someone else doing it.

part numbers and diagrams from comp nine
prices found through parts taxi
Location on comp nine site: Chevrolet - 2008 - Corvette - BODY MOLDINGS-SHEET METAL-LUGGAGE - 2006-2008 Y87 SHEET METAL/BODY PART 2 TUNNEL & LOCK PILLAR
89025152 - part # for the b pillar/tab assembly ($613 from parts taxi)
It sucks that all you need are parts 3 and 4 but they only come as part of #1:
Location on comp nine site: Chevrolet - 2007 - Corvette - BODY MOLDINGS-SHEET METAL-LUGGAGE - 2006-2008 Y87 BODY PANELS/ROOF
19120244 (*now 19152839.) - part number for roof (18 on the diagram) $618 from parts taxi
At this point I think the only other parts you may need could be interior trim if it was different and of course youd need the associated hardware.
looks like the hardware will consist of:
16 to 18 x (diagram part# 12 and 17)
gm pn 11561612 BOLT ASM - HX HD W/WIDE FLAT WA M6X1X35
diagram part 11
these are spacers (order them accordingly)
gm pn 10339711 SPACER,RF PNL(2MM CENTER BRKT)
gm pn 10339747 SPACER,RF PNL(1MM CENTER BRKT)
diagram part# 13 x 2
these are spacers (order them accordingly)
gm pn 10339748 SPACER,RF PNL(2MM OUTER BRKT)
gm pn 10339749 SPACER,RF PNL(1MM OUTER BRKT)
overall Id put this at 1300 to 1400 bucks to do. not cheap, but its roughly the price of a transparent top...

It can be done, however it requires you either cut the brackets off the main hoop of a Z06 (they are welded in place) or fabricate your own brackets.
The front part of the roof bolts directly to the stock C6 window frame.
The cheapest and easiest way to do the job is to get all the parts from a wrecked car including the main hoop.
It is difficult for me to provide a complete parts list as that is the route I went so I only had to end up purchasing a few minor parts.
I will try to re-post the pictures on our new site so that they show in the thread again and perhaps do a better write up. Though I have been a bit busy developing our new adjustable sway bars so I am not sure how soon I will be able to get to the writeup.
