hardtop convertible?

Hi guys. I was wondering if any of you would know how to fabricate this or if its been done before (non oe). Here's a link for a mustang one

I think it'd be cool. Maybe fiberglassing the original softop and leaving the joints or something?

definitely not cost effective. the amount of engineering and costs to do it on a small level production run would be unreal.

It would probably be cheaper to buy a coupe and build it identical to your vert so you have the best of both worlds
