Do you mean a targa top? Or a full convertible? I know that someone did a targa top on a F-body before...but I believe you have to reinforce the chassis, because the T-top bar factors in the structural integrity of the chassis.1998 M5 3.8 Mystic Teal Camaro<br />Flowmaster exhaust, Pacesetter headers, 3\" cat, 3\" S-pipe, whisper lid, ram air, Spec Stage 1 clutch, Poly Trans mount, Walbro 255LPH.

the cost to do a "convertabl conversion" woudl cost thousands, and require tons of custom.
It woudl possible be cheaper to do a ls1/6-speed swap and a t-top conversion then add a few grand in mods then it woudl be to convert to a convertable.

I serously doubt it. It would probably take more money than it would cost to just buy one.

You would have to change the whole car around. Everything from the subframe to the rear hatch would be modified. The t-top conversion is alot easier and doesn't require nearly as much work & $$ch'ching$$.
Trust everyone here, it's much easier/cheaper buying a 'vert.sigpicComment

Yeah you would definitely want some good SFC's if you did that...<b>00 Black Firebird V6</b><br />Whisper Lid, K&N Filter, FTRA, Flowmaster American Thunder, HPP3, Bilstein HDs, BMR STB<br /><br /><b>02 Black WS6</b><br />100% Stock<br /><br /><b> <a href=\"http://www.guysoflidar.com\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.guysoflidar.com</a> </b> Honest & Unbiased <a href=\"http://www.guysoflidar.com\" target=\"_blank\">Radar Detector Tests</a> - See who makes the <a href=\"http://www.guysoflidar.com\" target=\"_blank\">Best Radar Detector</a>!Comment

the car would need a lot of reinforcement, like has been said. youll note that a lot of chasis/suspension parts sold online are convertable/coupe specific. there are a lot of differences.Comment

honestly I think the easiest part woudl be the strengthening of hte chassis.
the hard part is cutting and reworking the rear of the car to work with a convertable.-Eric<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/mustangeater82\" target=\"_blank\">2000 NBM V6 Camaro 5-speed</a> T-top <i>converted</i><br /><b>14.467@95.45mph</b> <i>$0 in mods</i><br /><i>The member formerly known as MustangEater8251</i>Comment

my vote is to just get a vert rather than try it and find out that you recked the car or don't have enough money to finish the jobWAWA-A-HOLIC
