Is it possible it make a convertible

[DetMatt1]

I know Matt, I was just ribbing you a little for sayin' "you absolutely cannot tell the difference between it and a real one though".

We're good, I wasn't insinuating anyone was doing anything "improper" with a VIN. From what I know about you, you're one of the last people I would suspect of that kind of stuff! And I would think most if not all of your friends are pretty much the same as you.

Well I know a loose cannon or 2...

Is it possible, yes. I did it using original e body convertible parts from a convertible that was in a fire. See:

You know, if you were doing something like swapping a shell onto an LX chassis, I think it would be easier to pull off. There is a person who converts AMD coupe quarters into convertible pieces. And there is an outfit that builds LX convertibles.

So, there IS hope of finding a roof for mine! I bought mine without a roof and would like to find a replacement. The car came with a convertible roof frame and various other ‘vert parts, but I would rather put a hardtop back on.

Getting a roof isn’t difficult..

AMD sells a good quality roof skin for a Challenger

Roof Skins | AMD 600-2570

Classic has the AMD roof skin in stock

well the vert parts and find a donor car to cut the inner structure out of and put your roof back on.
Do you have a thread with pictures of your car?

 

[Jonah Hex]

Yep, I will post some shortly in a new thread. Apologies for high-jacking your thread, Cudachuck!

Sorry guys, but why when there are convertibles for sale out there. I have a 70 and a 71 Challenger Convertible. I would not cut up a hardtop to make a convertible, the cost probably would be more than buying a convertible. I just don't think you could engineer it right.

This definitely isn't the first one ever to be made into a pseudo convertible. But it is not going to be all that easy to do and make work well.
