I bought the full convertible top, windshield frame, and door pieces (all from different K5's) over the years I owned it the first time. It was always my goal to do the full convertible conversion 'someday'.

I gave him the parts whem we made the trade and about a year after that he paid a body shop to do the conversion, add a factory style 4-point roll bar, and throw a paint job on it.

He didn't add the extra floor bracing though so I welded in 3x3" box steel under the floor and inside the rocker panels. It seemed to help alittle, but I still don't care for the squeeks and groans the body makes.
