Hurley put one together.

And this one is still a work in progress I believe.
http://www.20bvert.com/
Anyone care to add to that?

I said 'more likely I'm careful'.
I avoid doing it when it's cold.
I don't do it daily.
I keep it clean.
I guess that is about all.

I have seen a couple other 20B verts, other than Georges, as well as V8 verts, but I wouldn't recommend either conversion/mod to anyone, but a diehard fabricator with more money than sense.

With the suspension mods (custom front sway bar, adjustable coilovers, Tokico Illuminas, 17 x 10 (rear) and 17 x 8.5 (front) wheels), the car handles beautifully.
If you have them, please post the names, locations and/or sites of the other 20B convertibles. I am aware of some projects, but don't know of any on the road.
An earlier part of the discussion centered on chassis flex. Every knowledgable, experienced race driver who has driven the car has commented favorably on its absence.

Regarding the top tears: If you don't put your top up/down when it's cold (below 50F) you probably will never have trouble with tears.
