Thank you!!! I didn't think I was the only one who loved the hardtop look so much to change it. Awesome job love the shaved drip rails definitely getting rid of mine. Any other pictures, suggestions, or just hey you might wanna think of this, let me know if you get a chance. With your insight into this I'm going through with the conversion as soon as I can. Once again thank you gentlemen and feel free to contact me if you think I may have some Mopar parts that could help you in your future builds.

Thanks

I actually like the '73 -'74 back slant hard top better than the 71-72 opening, looks racier.

If you need some advise (what little I have) feel free to PM me.

Two place when shaving drip rail you need to be careful of.

1. Where the drip rail seam goes into the front edge of door

2. Where it blends into the slant of rear window opening.

You have to decide to fill the gap on the door, which I think I will do or leave it out like this picture. I left mine different so I could decide what to do.

Also this picture show where the roof and window opening meet. Its hard to shape right. Im not 100% happy with mine but it looks ok so Ill probably leave it.
