    Did anyone ever put T-Tops in an E-Body?
    « on: November 20, 2006 - 10:48:40 PM »
    I personally don't care for sunroofs, so I was just wondering if anyone has ever seen an E-Body with a T-Top. I bet it would look cool. If anyone has a pic of one, how about posting it?

    I've never seen it in all my travels, but I bet someone out there has done it.

    There is a lot of strength in the outer roof rails. If you cut them out you will need to strengenn the frame of the car somehow to keep it from sagging. Convertibles as an example had heavier duty rockers than the hardtops.

    I remember there was a yellow promotion or concept car that had a T-Top(?) I'm sure it did.
    I've got a photo of 66 Barracuda with a Batman and Robin style roof.  :lol2:

    There was a B-5 blue one on the internet about 10 years ago.  They had modified a set of Cordoba T-tops but even then it was an old project.

    In my opinion it didn't look that good because of the quarter window shape but I think it would look great on a '73-'74 Se Charger!!  The Cordobas are so similar it would probably just bolt on
