so i decided a few years from now when im out of college im taking on this project. im gonna take a 2 door grand prix (the 1997-2003 model), and make it a convertible. i think it would be sweet and wouldnt seem too hard except for reinforcing the frame. i want it to look like this one.

ill get the pics i have of this car i think i have 50 or so.. they literly cut the roof off... the car was white and there the "boot" is is just packed with foam.
 




i think if they made the grand prix into a convertible they wouldve done pretty well. oh well when im done with the project it will make mine that much cooler :th_winking:
 
Get out the sawsall and mig welder, these cars are affordable enough now where it should'nt be a big deal. For sure some sort of bracing underneath (subframe connectors and maybe an X-brace) and possibly a "roll bar" (would look good and add rigidity).

Do it! and take some pic's while you are at it. Is there any possibility that the "removed" top could be saved and bolted on and off?
 


that actually looks pretty freakin sweet. alot different then i thought a gp convertible would look. i was assuming it would look like ass lol. couldnt do it any better then that^

yeah i probably wont be able to make it completly rigid. oh well we will find out. and i was thinking about using the top as a hard top. but idk about the rear windows then. it might be difficult so we will see what happens with it all.
 
Have any additional supports been added to the A-pillars on this convertible? Anyone notice the tone deff tuned equalizer?
