There was one available for the 1st gen Ford Mustang convertables.
It can be done.
The one thing that MUST be addresed if it's done, is escape plans
(don't want to be trapped in a sinking car). There needs to be a
latch that will hold up to hiway speeds and also be easily released
in case of emergency. I think original type hardware may be up to
the task. The Fiberglass top will weigh more that the soft top so it
will need stronger screws for safety.
Gord, you could mold one from a soft top to match the design and the
side windows will seal. Add some rollover protection, a liner and
interior lighting.
