    Here is the e-mail for the people that were doing a conversion. Jim and Michelle are their names!!  I don't have any feedback as I haven't seen a finished product yet!   :dontknow:

    May I suggest that instead of bastardizing a '70 Challenger, that you fix it up, and if you still want a 'vert, sell the '70 and buy a convertible?  That way, there isn't yet another '70 being chopped up.

    You don't want to make a vert out of a hardtop car... leaving your windows open is just the same.

    Welcome to the board 2fast. I don't think I would be able to cut up a 70 Challenger, however, I would love to see some pics of your new purchase.

    Don't cut it up! In the end you will have bastardized a car that will be worth less than a real convertible or hardtop!

    I TOTALLY AGREE!  :iagree: Unless the car was involved in a roll over crash and the roof is gone, DON'T cut it up.
