There is a lot more to it than cutting the hole out.

Yeah definitely more work..... like putting a whole roof and skeleton on.... I've done sunroof to solid roof swaps but not the other way around.

If the car is pretty well stripped down it shouldn't be that difficult all u need is the roof skin and inner structure and doors the roof skin and structure is attached at the tops of the pillars and top of the rear quarters, weld a couple braces in to keep the body from flexing when the roof is removed and start drilling spot welds, me and a buddy just did a hatch to coupe conversion on his race chassis and it was pretty easy we had everything ready to weld up in 3 days.

I've done one before on a buddy's car but we had the original section of roof between windshield and t top kit. It really wasn't hard at all. I need the measurements from windshield to sunroof

Thanks everyone for the help. I have everything I will need except the t top door glass. We did my buddies by simply measuring and cutting the hole in the roof removing old inner structure, putting new t top structure in and welded my life away it turned out really nice. The car didn't flex at all bc of the subframe connectors he had. And my bbk one a have been ordered. And thank you Andrew ill probably take you up on that my next day off.
