Message	hard top body. and/or the TTops top. the weilding will weaken it. sense the ttop one was designed and reinforced for it, cut them out and it's weaker no matter what. the slick top roof im pretty sure is more of a soild piece from a- piller to the c piller. sure you can cut and patch it in but it still will never be as stonge as it was when it was the OEM 1 piece. ________________________________________________________ RIC, my spelling sux, deal with it. max hp 207.4 max torque 188.7
