Re: Making a 1968 hard top into a convertible
Maybe I should just part it out…sigh… other than the missing roof, it’s in good shape too…

Any suggestions on the best way to stiffen the frame?

Making a 1968 hard top into a convertible
I bought a 1968 and someone had previously chopped the top off to make a convertible. Is that actually safe to do with the style of frame. Isn’t the 68 a “unibody”? And the solid roof provides some stability. Do I need to beef up the frames? Is it even possible? Is it ok to drive as it is?
