t-top

is it too hard to make t-top a 77' mav?? i know it may be expensive but how can i do it?

 

my first question whould be why?

t-tops belong on camaros or firebirds-or king cobra's not on mavs IMO

just my

good luck on your project

 

Anything can be done with enough time and money. It would probably require alot of custom stuff. I don't personally think it would be worth it...

 

i think i would start by finding a doner car, with the roof line as close as possible to the maverick. then cut and weld. i say go for it. i love t-tops

 

T-Top are usually in roofs on cars with frameless doors. Generally T-Top cars use the same doors as the convertible version of the car ... You'll have to reinforce the subframe and then figure out what to do with the top of the window frames. I have seen truck conversion where the top of the window frame was made detachable.

 

Just drill a few holes in the roof to let rain leak through and you can just pretend its yout t-tops leaking Seriously though, too much work and would probably look pretty fugly. Just MVHO of course...

 

I say go for it. it might look really cool. Definately a first.

 

I say pass on this idea, but if your dead set on it... do it 2 a 4 door

 

cutting out the tops would be easy, its getting it to look decent while the tops are on the would be tough, especially if you use steel. if you use glass its going to be tough to get the right curve. if you do it, for the love of god, dont do it to a GT or a grabber. do it to a 73 or later 4 door. no offense to the big bumper 4 door crowd out there. at least they're still maverick/comets.

 

do it on a parts car first...frank...

 

I would highly recommend this path.

 

It would waste a Maverick and a lot of time.
