    panther t tops?

    has anyone ever made a grand marq/crown vic (2 door) with t tops? i've always wanted to try this, maybe find a t top kit from a buick regal or something, if i could find a car thats roughly the same shape and size i could probably figure something out. any ideas?

    Would be cool, but dont ever think about taking it out in the rain. Factory t tops dont seal correctly, i can only imagine the mess of someone trying to do this to their car.

          i was thinking that (about the slicktop) but i think it would actually look pretty badass with the quarter vinyl top the 2 doors have. i really wanna try this if i can ever get my hand on a 2 door cheap

              if that guy would have ever called me back about the 2 door cv, that would have been great. Are you anywhere near KC if you are i can call see if he still has it.

                The problem is that panthers don't have pillarless glass, which is crucial for the t-tops.

                      Apparently so.

                      Makes me think you could almost get away with cutting the door pillars...

                        That looks hot.


                        But cutting the door frame will be too much of a pain, but if you leave it as if and just slice open the roof it could be more manageable.

                          You'd have to do some serious frame reinforcement. These things are wet noodles over bumps as it is.
