Default I know, it is insane

however I have been thinking about converting my 77 bird to T-tops or even to a convertible/roadster. I know back in the days they did have these coming out of the factory going to a specialty shop. I already have full welded frame connectors, putting in an X brace is not a big deal, however the body work is challenging.

Any one know who has done this to a 2 gen bird?

Just buy this one, the body isn't that bad and the hard part is done - just finish the interior and top. Probably not far from you either.
