Default T-tops to hardtop to T-tops

Hey, I'm new to the forum.I just bought a 97 Z-28 6sp. I was wondering the guy that had it before me supposedly changed it from a t-top to a hardtop. How can i change it back? I mean it doesnt have a headliner so when i look up i can see where the t-tops where and everything.

who the helllllll would do such a thing....
if the mounting spots for the ttops are still there and t-bar etc...you should just be able to cut it out, if not, go find a trashed camaro with ttops and use that

Then he may not have to do as much. It is more or less a reference as to what to see/expect when hacking up his roof again.

It is not as common to hear about on hear, but on other forums I hear about it more often.

I'm curious to see how he did this. pics? I've never heard of going from t-tops to hard top before. If you lucky, it'll be fairly easy to do, depending on how he did it.

I would prefer the hard top. Having t-tops on my car I can tell you yea they look cool when you have them off but once they start to leak or trap moisture (like mind did) then you get wet during rain storms or, like me, you get rust in your t-tops. Once I get all the rust cleared I'm going to see about making it a hard top.
