Making a Convertible out of a hard top
Ok,,,Here goes,,,,,,,I was sitting outside in the dark,,
(that should be sufficient warning to my state of mind) and i was looking at my 1962 Thunderbird 2 door hardtop,,,,,,and i began to think,,,,,"CONVERTIBLE",,,,,build it and they will come for you LoL,,,anyhow,,,,since there where so few 62 Thunderbird Convertibles built, my chances of ever owning one in the near future seems kind of remote,,,,so i looked at the lines of my 62,,and sure enough,,it looks like i could verywell make a convertible hartdtop out of her without too much trouble,,,Now the question is???,,,,
Has anyone else done one of these, or similar??
Keeping in mind that the 62 Thunderbird is a Unibody construction car,,,I believe i am going to have to re-enforce the door to rear quarter pillars to prevent body flex.
I did see four 1964's a while back on the internet, that where made into convertibles for a movie,,and the builder claimed the cars needed no re-enforcing at all.
So Fire away,,,,maybee i need a reality check."I don't know everything and i like it that way"
